Jarry Returning to Pittsburgh<\/span><\/h2>\n

One of the top players in this year\u2019s free agency, Jarry is a highly capable and hard-working goaltender. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Pittsburgh Penguins’ undisputed starter for several years, Jarry\u2019s strong stats speak for themselves. He is a confident player and individual, which in turn allows the skaters in front of him to play with ease and assurance.<\/span><\/p>\n

Whilst he is a gifted player, he is however prone to streakiness. His teammates will be looking for him to maintain a level of consistency that has been previously lacking. Should he unlock this trait, the 28-year-old\u2019s reputation could skyrocket. <\/span><\/p>\n

Jarry\u2019s Career So Far<\/span><\/h3>\n

Drafted 44th overall in 2013 by the Penguins,\u00a0Jarry started his professional career in the AHL with the Wilkes-Barre\/Scranton Penguins. <\/span><\/p>\n

Initially, he had to settle for being Pittsburgh\u2019s go-to emergency cover, making just a few cameos in the NHL. However, Jarry honed his craft well with the Baby Pens, cementing his place as one of the best starters in the AHL.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the start of the shortened 2019-20 season, Jarry finally got his NHL breakthrough. Sharing the crease with Matt Murray, the Canadian played 33 games, winning 20. <\/span><\/p>\n

During the season, Jarry managed three shutouts, a save percentage (SP%) of .921 and a goals against average (GAA) of 2.43 feats which earned him his first All-Star Game appearance.<\/span><\/p>\n

Having established himself as an NHL-calibre goalie, Jarry signed a new three-year extension<\/a> and was named as the starter for the Penguins for the start of the 2020-21 season. <\/span><\/p>\n

Despite difficulties in the post-season and a spotty injury record, Jarry was never usurped from his position as starter. In the last three seasons, he played 39, 58 and 47 games respectively. He bookended each with a SP% of 9.09, with a .919 percentage in 2021-22. His GAA was always relatively respectable too; 2.75, 2.42 and 2.90. He also got a second All-Star Game nod in 2022.<\/span><\/p>\n
