"Jarry, 30, is in his 10th NHL season, all with the Penguins. He had helped Pittsburgh to a surprising start that put them in a playoff seed through Thursday's games. He was 9-3-1 in 14 games with Pittsburgh this season with a .909 save percentage and a 2.66 goals-against average with one shutout. Money Puck had him at 9.8 goals saved above expected."
"Edmonton has the second worst team save percentage in the NHL this season (.873). The Oilers have appeared in back-to-back Stanley Cup finals, losing both times to the Florida Panthers. Each run has been plagued by goaltending inconsistency, with Skinner and backup Calvin Pickard unable to provide championship caliber stability. Ideally the Oilers would have preferred to add a veteran goalie to a tandem with Skinner, but that would have been a challenge under the salary cap."
The Edmonton Oilers acquired goalie Tristan Jarry and forward Sam Poulin from the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for Stuart Skinner, Brett Kulak and a 2029 second-round pick. Edmonton also traded a 2027 third-round pick to the Nashville Predators for defenseman Spencer Stastney. Jarry is under contract through 2027-28 with a $5.375 million cap hit and has posted a .909 save percentage and 2.66 GAA this season. Edmonton has the NHL's second-worst team save percentage (.873) and has faced goaltending inconsistency during consecutive Stanley Cup final runs. Skinner and Kulak are signed through 2025-26 and will be unrestricted free agents next summer.
