Jarry, as expected, was reassigned to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on Thursday after passing through waivers unclaimed.
Jarry has been decidedly bad this season, going 8-8-4 with a career-worst .884 save percentage and 3.31 GAA. Multiple times this season, the 29-year-old netminder gave up a goal on the first shot he faced. Tuesday's matchup with Seattle appears to have been the straw that broke the camel's back, as Jarry conceded two goals in 50 seconds, costing the Penguins the lead and ultimately the game. The British Columbia native heads to the minors mired in a five-game losing streak in which he posted a 0-3-2 record over six appearances.

Penguins' Tristan Jarry: Set to be waived by Pittsburgh
Rotowire
Jarry will be waived by the Penguins on Wednesday.
Jarry has struggled in recent weeks, culminating in Wednesday's loss to the Kraken in which he allowed a pair of third-period goals within a span of 50 seconds to turn a 2-1 lead into a 3-2 deficit. The 29-year-old had still served as Pittsburgh's primary netminder for most of the year despite one of the worst seasons of his career, as he posted an 8-8-4 record, 3.31 GAA and .884 save percentage over 22 appearances to begin the 2024-25 campaign. Jarry will likely have a chance to get back into form at AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton if he clears waivers, while Alex Nedeljkovic should take over as Pittsburgh's No. 1 goaltender for now.

Penguins' Tristan Jarry: Lead slips away late Tuesday
Rotowire
Jarry stopped 14 of 17 shots in Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Kraken, with Seattle's final goal getting scored into an empty net.
The Penguins controlled the first two periods and out-shot the visitors 28-10, but they only had a 2-1 lead to show for it. That gave Jarry no margin for error in the third when his defense fell asleep, leading to two goals 50 seconds apart in the final frame by Jamie Oleksiak and Eeli Tolvanen. Jarry hasn't picked up a win since Dec. 23, going 0-3-2 over his last six outings with a 2.85 GAA and .881 save percentage as he remains in a timeshare with Alex Nedeljkovic.

Rotowire
Jarry will patrol the home crease versus the Kraken on Tuesday, per Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff.
Jarry is winless through four appearances in January, posting an 0-1-2 record, .905 save percentage and 2.17 GAA. The Kraken are 18-23-3 this season and have put up 2.89 goals per game, which ranks 22nd in the NHL.

Penguins' Tristan Jarry: Poor showing in loss
Rotowire
Jarry gave up three goals on 17 shots in Sunday's 5-2 loss to the Lightning. The last two goals were empty-netters.
Jarry was awful in a tough matchup, as the Lightning ended up being opportunistic with limited chances. This was Jarry's fourth straight defeat (0-3-1), and he's allowed a total of 13 goals over five appearances in that span. For the season, the 29-year-old goalie dropped to 8-7-4 with a 3.32 GAA and an .888 save percentage over 21 appearances. Neither Jarry nor Alex Nedeljkovic has been good lately, so it's unclear who might get the start at home Tuesday versus the Kraken.

Penguins' Tristan Jarry: Needed in relief against Sens
Rotowire
Jarry stopped all five shots he faced after replacing Alex Nedeljkovic midway through the second period during Saturday's 5-0 loss to Ottawa.
The Senators took their foot off the gas over the final half of the game with a comfortable 5-0 lead, and Jarry wasn't really tested. The 29-year-old goalie hasn't won a game since Christmas, going 0-1-2 over his last four appearances, but his 2.73 GAA and .900 save percentage are superior to Nedeljkovic's recent work. The duo will likely work in a timeshare unless one of them can heat up and seize the top job.

Penguins' Tristan Jarry: Can't hang onto lead Tuesday
Rotowire
Jarry turned aside 26 shots in regulation and overtime and one of three shootout attempts in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Blue Jackets.
Rickard Rakell struck twice in the third period to give the Penguins a 3-1 lead, but Jarry couldn't make it stick before Pittsburgh's skaters came up empty in the shootout. Jarry has just one win in his last five starts, going 1-2-2 with a 2.95 GAA and .899 save percentage, and he seems to be slipping back into a timeshare with Alex Nedeljkovic as the Pens try to find some consistency between the pipes.

Jarry made 31 saves in a 3-2 shootout loss to Florida on Friday to open the new calendar year. The Blue Jackets have generated 135 goals through 40 games, which is tied for the seventh-highest mark in the NHL.

Penguins' Tristan Jarry: Solid outing in shootout loss
Rotowire
Jarry stopped 31 of 33 shots in Friday's 3-2 shootout loss to the Panthers.
Jarry delivered a solid outing in Friday's matchup but received the loss after conceding two goals in the shootout. He had recorded a save percentage under .900 in three of his last four appearances, so Friday's effort was a solid bounce-back performance despite not getting the victory.

Rotowire
Jarry allowed five goals on 33 shots in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Islanders. The last goal was an empty-netter.
Jarry had won seven of 10 outings entering the holiday break, but the Islanders gave him a rude welcome back to action Saturday. This was the fifth time in his last 11 starts that Jarry allowed four or more goals. He's now at an 8-6-2 record with a 3.58 GAA and an .885 save percentage over 17 starts. Alex Nedeljkovic is likely to start on home ice in Sunday's rematch versus the Islanders.

Rotowire
Jarry will guard the road cage Saturday against the Islanders, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports.

Penguins' Tristan Jarry: Seventh win in last 10 starts
Rotowire
Jarry made 24 saves on 27 shots in a 7-3 win over the Flyers on Monday.
Jarry's team was strong out of the block, and he was solid throughout. His numbers overall have been queasy, but he's actually 7-2-1 in his last 10 starts. Still, Jarry remains a risk for fantasy managers because he allows far too many goals -- he allowed 30 goals in those 10 games, including four games with four or more goals. Your categories and settings will dictate how much risk you can absorb.

Penguins' Tristan Jarry: First goalie off Monday
Rotowire
Jarry was the first goalie off during Monday's morning skate, Wes Crosby of NHL.com reports, indicating that he'll be between the pipes at home against the Flyers.
Jarry has been inconsistent in recent weeks, as he's posted a 3-2-1 record, 2.99 GAA and .887 save percentage over his last six appearances. He took the loss Saturday against the Devils as the Penguins failed to score any goals, but he'll attempt to turn things around in the team's final game before the Christmas break. The Flyers rank 17th in the NHL with 3.00 goals per game.

Penguins' Tristan Jarry: Gets no help Saturday
Rotowire
Jarry turned aside 25 of 27 shots in Saturday's 3-0 loss to the Devils, with New Jersey's final goal getting scored into an empty net.
The veteran netminder kept the Devils off the scoreboard for the entire first period and most of the second, but Stefan Noesen finally got a puck past Jarry just before the second intermission, and Pittsburgh's skaters never solved Jacob Markstrom. Jarry hasn't been stellar since reclaiming the top job in the Penguins' crease, but he's been a little more reliable than the team's other options. Over his last 10 starts, Jarry has gone 6-3-1 with a 2.99 GAA and .897 save percentage.

Rotowire
Jarry was the first goalie off the ice at the morning skate, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports, indicating he will defend the road net Saturday versus New Jersey.
Jarry is coming off a 22-save effort in Thursday's 5-4 overtime win over Nashville to improve to 4-1-1 through six outings in December.

Penguins' Tristan Jarry: Guarding cage Thursday
Rotowire
Jarry will tend the twine on the road versus Nashville on Thursday, Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff reports.
Jarry is enjoying a strong run of play in December, having posted a 3-1-1 record and .892 save percentage in his last five outings. The netminder's penchant for giving up a goal on the first shot of the game remains, but his team is at least finding ways to win with him in the crease. At this point, it seems Pittsburgh will roll the dice with Jarry and hope he can return to being an All-Star caliber netminder again.

Penguins' Tristan Jarry: Coasts to win
Rotowire
Jarry stopped 21 of 23 shots in Thursday's 9-2 win over Montreal.
Jarry allowed a goal on the first shot he saw, which may have triggered memories of his previous start when he gave up six goals on home ice in a loss to the Avalanche, but he recovered and eventually coasted to a fifth win in his last six starts. The Penguins have averaged 4.7 goals per game in those starts, which has helped the goalie overcome a slow opening to the season. Jarry lowered his GAA to 3.65 and improved his save percentage to .884 with the effort. The Penguins next play Saturday in Ottawa.
