New Edmonton Oilers goaltender Tristan Jarry is getting set to make his return to Pittsburgh since the trade from the Penguins on Friday.
On Friday, the Pittsburgh Penguins traded goaltender Tristan Jarry and defenseman Sam Poulin to the Edmonton Oilers for Stuart Skinner and Brett Kulak.
Jarry already picked up his first win in an Oilers sweater, helping Edmonton beat the Toronto Maple Leafs 6-3 on Saturday.
On Tuesday, Jarry will make his return to Pittsburgh since the major trade to Edmonton and has already admitted playing against the team he was part of less than a week ago will be a weird feeling.
It will be very weird. It's going to be a whole new setting. Just talking to my parents and the rest of my family, that first game (Saturday in Toronto), it felt like my first game in the NHL all over again.

Jarry also said that he never thought he would wear another sweater in the NHL other than Pittsburgh's, saying he loved both the team and the city.
I always thought that I would never play for another team. Obviously, I had a contract with the Penguins and was traded to Edmonton, but that was always my thought. I loved Pittsburgh. I loved living there. I loved the city and everything that came with putting that jersey on.
It was very special to me. It was anything and everything I could have imagined. - Tristan Jarry

Stuart Skinner Has Been Activated By The Penguins
Skinner, who was not able to play in either of Pittsburgh's stunning overtime losses over the weekend, has officially been activated.
It hasn't officially been announced that he will get the start against his old team, but it would also be a chance for Skinner to officially move on following the trade on Friday.
