Tonight, the Penguins are facing off against the Oilers and have utterly embarrassed former goaltender Tristan Jarry with three goals in 35 seconds.
The Edmonton Oilers and Pittsburgh Penguins pulled off a blockbuster goalie swap with Tristan Jarry landing in Edmonton and Stuart Skinner coming to Pittsburgh.
At the time, it was seen as an upgrade for the Oilers adding the more reliable Jarry while Skinner looked for a fresh start in Pittsburgh.
Just days after being acquired, Jarry suffered an injury meaning any analysis on the trade would have to wait until he returned to the net.
Since Jarry's return to the Oilers net Skinner has been the better of the two goaltenders and tonight Jarry's tenure in Edmonton hit a new all-time low with an embarrassing performance.
Tristan Jarry exposed by Penguins in stunning fashion
The Penguins came out in this game flying putting home three goals in 37 seconds to begin the game dominating the Oilers.
A pair of goals by Anthony Mantha was then followed by a Sidney Crosby tally as he continues to chase history.
While these goals are not on Jarry alone the optics for him and the Oilers are not good whatsoever.
Heading into this game, Jarry had a 2.48 goals against average and a 0.904 save percentage for the Oilers which will certainly regress with this performance.
In comparison, Skinner has a 2.34 and a 0.902 with the Penguins while playing four more games than Jarry.
Combined with the outstanding play of Penguins goalie Stuart Skinner it seems that Kyle Dubas committed highway robbery by pulling off this trade.
