A couple of interesting Penguins items in Elliotte Friedman’s latest 31 Thoughts, so let’s dive in an think about them from a local perspective.
2. I’m not convinced Toronto’s going to alter its backup situation. They just don’t seem enamoured with what’s out there. Tristan Jarry’s gone from potential trade target to Pittsburgh record-holder, with a shutout streak of 177:15 ended by the Canadiens. Until a long-term decision is made with Matt Murray, will the Penguins move either Jarry or Casey DeSmith?
It doesn’t take much looking (including on our own network recently) to link the Pens’ surplus in having three NHL worthy goalies and to team’s like Toronto who need a backup.
