A concerning sight in Beantown.
During the second period of Thursday night’s game against the Boston Bruins, Edmonton Oilers goaltender Tristan Jarry exited the game after suffering a lower-body injury.
Jarry appeared to have been hurt when attempting to make a save while sliding to his right. It resulted in Calvin Pickard entering the game in relief with the Oilers leading by a score of 2-1. Jarry stopped 12 of the 13 shots he faced in over 36 minutes of action.
The 30-year-old goaltender was acquired by Edmonton last week in a blockbuster deal that, among assets, sent Stuart Skinner to the Pittsburgh Penguins. It was a notable move as it was the first big change in the Oilers goaltending since the departure of Mike Smith.
Early returns for Jarry were solid. In his debut with his new team against the Toronto Maple Leafs last Saturday, the Surrey, B.C. native made 28 saves in a 6-3 victory. Then, just a few nights later, against his former team, Jarry posted 30 stops in a 6-4 win over the Penguins.
Oilers fans are certainly hoping that Jarry’s injury isn’t severe, as they hope he can be the piece that further bolsters the team’s chances of being a championship contender.
In his first 16 appearances this season, 14 of which were with the Penguins, Jarry has a record of 11-3-1 with a 2.77 goals-against average, a .905 save percentage and a shutout. He’s helped his team earn points in five of his previous six starts as well.
Jarry is in the third year of his five-year contract that he signed with Pittsburgh in July 2023. The deal has a cap hit of $5.375 million through the 2027-28 campaign.
In 309 career regular-season games in the NHL, Jarry has a record of 163-100-32, a 2.75 GAA, a .909 SV% and 22 shutouts. He also has a record of 2-6 in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, posting a 3.00 GAA and a .891 SV%.
The Oilers (16-12-6) came into Thursday night sitting third in the Pacific Division, four points out of first place.
