Jarry was reassigned to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on a conditioning loan Saturday.
The temporary demotion comes as a bit of a surprise as the Penguins only gave Jarry three games this campaign after he was the team's No. 1 goaltender the past three seasons. Granted, Jarry got off to a horrible start, giving up 12 goals on 73 shots (.836 save percentage), but the Penguins can't afford to be patient with him following a 3-5-1 to start to 2024-25. Pittsburgh will rely on Alex Nedeljkovic and Joel Blomqvist in Jarry's absence.

Penguins' Tristan Jarry: Not on road trip
Rotowire
Jarry is back in Pittsburgh to work on his form, Josh Yohe of The Athletic reports Thursday.
Jarry went 1-1-0 with 12 goals allowed on 73 shots (.836 save percentage) over his first three games of the year. With the 29-year-old back in Pittsburgh, it's safe to say he won't play Friday in Edmonton or Saturday in Vancouver, but he could get a chance to get back on track as soon as Tuesday's game versus the Wild. Jarry will have his work cut out for him in regards to regaining playing time, as the Penguins still have Alex Nedeljkovic and Joel Blomqvist on the NHL roster.

Penguins' Tristan Jarry: Gets early hook Wednesday
Rotowire
Jarry gave up three goals on five shots before being replaced by Joel Blomqvist midway through the first period in Wednesday's 6-5 overtime win over the Sabres.
The Penguins were able to climb out of the hole their starting goalie dug for them, but the tone for his performance was set when Tage Thompson scored on a wraparound 43 seconds into the game after Jarry misplayed the puck behind the net. The 29-year-old has an ugly 5.45 GAA and .833 save percentage through his first three appearances this season, and while a trade seems unlikely given the three years and $16.125 million left on his contract after 2024-25, Jarry's role could be in jeopardy -- especially once Alex Nedeljkovic (lower body) returns from IR.

Penguins' Tristan Jarry: First goalie off Wednesday
Rotowire
Jarry was the first goalie to leave the ice Wednesday, Matt Vensel of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports, indicating he'll be in goal at home versus Buffalo.
Jarry was fairly steady in his last start, stopping 24 of 27 shots (.889 save percentage) in a winning effort over the Habs on Monday. Still, it's been a less-than-stellar start to the year for the 29-year-old netminder. If he stumbles against the Sabres, it could open the door for Joel Blomqvist to get the nod versus Carolina on Friday. Jarry's hold on the No. 1 job will become even more tenuous once Alex Nedeljkovic (lower body) returns to action.

Penguins' Tristan Jarry: Rebounds for win
Rotowire
Jarry stopped 24 of 27 shots in Monday's 6-3 win over the Canadiens.
Jarry picked up his first win of the season after a disappointing 6-0 loss to the Rangers on Opening Night. He sat out the next two games due to the poor performance and will need a consistent stretch of play to earn back his status as the team's primary goalie. Per Josh Yohe of The Athletic, there is an open competition for playing time. Jarry and Joel Blomqvist will anchor the crease for now and could soon be joined by Alex Nedeljkovic (lower body).

Penguins' Tristan Jarry: Exits ice first Monday
Rotowire
Jarry was the first goalie to leave the ice Monday, Josh Yohe of The Athletic reports, indicating he'll defend the cage on the road versus Montreal.
Jarry was disappointing in the season opener against the Rangers, giving up six goals on 40 shots (.850 save percentage). It led to the 29-year-old netminder sitting out for the Penguins' last two contests in favor of youngster Joel Blomqvist. At this point, Jarry's hold on the No. 1 job should be considered tenuous at best, especially once Alex Nedeljkovic (lower body) is cleared to return.

Penguins' Tristan Jarry: Ambushed by Blueshirts
Rotowire
Jarry made 35 saves in Wednesday's 6-0 loss to the Rangers.
The 29-year-old netminder got no help from the Penguins at either end of the ice. and Jarry was staring at a 3-0 deficit by the end of the first period. He had a losing record for the first time in his career over a full season in 2023-24, going 19-25-5 with a disappointing 2.91 GAA and .903 save percentage, and this was far from an encouraging start to the current campaign. With Alex Nedeljkovic (lower body) on the shelf to begin the season though, Jarry figures to see a hefty workload early.

Penguins' Tristan Jarry: Slated to start Wednesday
Rotowire
Jarry was the first goalie off Wednesday, Matt Vensel of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports, indicating he'll start in the home goal for Pittsburgh's Opening Night matchup against the Rangers.
Jarry showed some slight regression during the 2023-24 campaign, posting a 19-25-5 record, 2.91 GAA and .903 save percentage, all of which were his worst marks since becoming a regular part of the Penguins' goaltending picture during the 2019-20 season. However, he was relatively solid in the preseason and should be Pittsburgh's No. 1 goaltender early in the year while Alex Nedeljkovic (lower body) is on injured reserve.

Penguins' Tristan Jarry: Busy in Thursday's win
Rotowire
Jarry stopped 33 shots in Thursday's 3-1 preseason win over the Blue Jackets.
Cole Sillinger got a puck past him in the first period, but Jarry shut the door the rest of the way while working behind a Pittsburgh lineup missing most of its season-opening roster. The 29-year-old netminder is looking to bounce back from a shaky campaign in which he failed to record at least 20 wins for the first time since he became a regular part of the Penguins' goaltending picture in 2019-20, while posting his worst GAA (2.91) and save percentage (.903) during that stretch.

Penguins' Tristan Jarry: Gets starting nod against Wings
Rotowire
Jarry will be between the pipes at home versus Detroit on Tuesday, Michelle Crechiolo of the Penguins' official site reports.
Jarry will enter the 2024-25 campaign hoping to reclaim the starting job after Alex Nedeljkovic played in the final 14 games of the season for the Pens last year. A preseason lower-body injury for Nedeljkovic could ease the pressure on Jarry to open the season, but he figures to be on a short leash regardless.

Penguins' Tristan Jarry: Watches playoff push from bench
Rotowire
Jarry made one relief appearance over the Penguins' last 12 games while Alex Nedeljkovic took over as the No. 1 netminder.
For the first time since Jarry's rookie campaign back in 2017-18, in which he played in just 26 games, the netminder failed to reach the 20-win threshold in 2023-24. In his 51 outings this season, Jarry posted a career-worst 2.91 GAA and .903 save percentage while going 19-25-5.

Penguins' Tristan Jarry: Takes loss in relief appearance
Rotowire
Jarry stopped 12 of 14 shots in relief of Alex Nedeljkovic, taking the loss in a 6-4 defeat to the Bruins on Saturday.
Jarry entered the game just after the midway mark. The Penguins were competitive enough to make it close, and that ultimately resulted in Jarry taking his fourth loss in five outings. His playing time has all but dried up because Nedeljkovic has played well enough to get the Penguins in the playoff hunt. Jarry dropped to 19-25-5 with a 2.91 GAA and a .903 save percentage through 51 appearances this season. The Penguins host the Predators on Monday and visit the Islanders on Wednesday to close out the 2023-24 campaign.
