The 2024/25 season has been an up-and-down one thus far for the Pittsburgh Penguins, with the team going 3-3-0 through their first six games, and while that record isn't too bad, it's the performance in net that's holding them back. Through three starts, Tristan Jarry has tallied a 5.47 GAA and an .836 save percentage, and with Joel Blomqvist thriving and Alex Nedeljkovic on the way back, his future in Pittsburgh is up in the air.
In those three games, Jarry has a 1-2 record while allowing 12 goals on 73 shots, and now he has opened up about the struggles that are clearly effecting him on and off the ice.
As a professional athlete, one of the hardest things in the world to do is quieten the noise that goes on in your head during bad times, especially in such a high-profile spot like Pittsburgh, and it appears that's the toughest battle that the 29-year old is dealing with right now. That was reiterated by Head Coach Mike Sullivan, who threw all his support behind Jarry after the team lost 4-1 to the Hurricanes, falling to 3-3-0 on the year.
With a $5.25 million AAV deal with multiple years left on it, it's very unlikely that the team will find any way to move Jarry, but given his struggles, it's a story that may continue to come up more and more as the year rolls on.
