Tristan Jarry arrived to the Pittsburgh Penguins as a successful, winning netminder and he hit the ground running as an NHL puckstopper. It took him just 170 games to reach the milestone of 100 NHL wins, which was the second-fastest ever by a Pittsburgh goalie. 

Jarry was a two-time WHL All-Star selection with the Edmonton Oil Kings. He would backstop that club to the 2013-14 Memorial Cup title. The Penguins made him the 44th overall selection of the 2013 NHL entry draft. 

Turning pro, Jarry would share the 2016-17 Harry “Hap” Holmes” Trophy with Casey DeSmith playing for the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins in the AHL in 2016-17. He’d made his NHL debut that season for Pittsburgh in the club’s April 9, 2017 regular-season finale against the New York Rangers. Jarry suited up for two playoff games as a backup during Pittsburgh’s 20151-6 Stanley Cup win. He would also suit up for 11 games during the Penguins’ Stanley Cup run in the spring of 2017 as backup to Marc-Andre Fleury while Matt Murray was recuperating from injury. 

Jarry registered the first goal scored by a netminder in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins history, potting an empty-net tally during a 5–1 win over the Springfield Thunderbirds on November 14, 2018.

Jarry got his big break the following season. Fleury went to the Vegas Golden Knights in the NHL expansion draft in the summer of 2017. When Antti Niemi was struggling as Murray’s backup, he was placed on waivers and Jarry was summoned from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.

Jarry would post his first NHL win on November 25th, 2017, making 33 saves during a 5-2 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning. In his next start on December 1, 2017, Jarry would turn aside 34 shots in a 4-0 blanking of the Buffalo Sabres. He’d collect a point in each of his first six appearances after his recall from the AHL. Jarry would finish his rookie NHL season collecting a 14-6-2 record with a 2.77 goals-against average, .908 save percentage and two shutouts in 26 games, including 23 starts.

Gaining his first opportunity to be Pittsburgh’s No. 1 goalie during the 2019-20 season, Jarry made the most of his chance. He’d go 20-12-1 with a 2.43 GAA, .921 save percentage and three shutouts in 33 appearances. Those efforts helped to to earn him the nod as part of the Metropolitan Division team for the NHL All-Star Game.

Posting a career-high 34 wins in 2021-22, Jarry would again be named to play in the NHL All-Star Game. His GAA that season was a career-low 2.42. During the 2023-24 season, Jarry would post a personal-best six shutouts. Playing against the Lightning on November 20, 2023, Jarry would become the first Penguins netminder to ever score a goal. His empty-netter clinched a 4-2 Pittsburgh triumph.
