The Pittsburgh Penguins find themselves at a crossroads with goaltender Tristan Jarry as the franchise contemplates his future amid ongoing struggles. According to Josh Yohe of The Athletic, Jarry’s mental approach and psychological state are primary concerns for the Penguins as they deliberate his role with the team moving forward.
The Penguins are reportedly ready to be patient with the 29-year-old netminder but fear his mental skillset could hamper his growth.
“Plenty of people in the organization want to see him receive an extended amount of games in the NHL, simply to see what is there,” Yohe said.
Jarry's season started on a rocky note, posting a troubling 5.47 goals-against average and a .836 save percentage in his first three games. While starting against the Buffalo Sabres in October, Jarry allowed three goals on five shots in the first period alone. He was later sent to their AHL affiliate in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton on a conditioning loan on Oct. 26.
