Tristan Jarry Out Week-To-Week

April 16, 2022 at 10:01 am CDT | by Ethan Hetu 3 Comments

Despite clinching a playoff berth on Wednesday, this week may finish as a disappointing one for Penguins fans. Goaltender Tristan Jarry, who was strong in that playoff-clinching win, is out with a lower-body injury, and Penguins head coach Mike Sullivan stated that the team has designated Jarry’s status as “week to week.” Since the playoffs begin in just over two weeks, such a designation is highly concerning for the Penguins. Although it is definitely possible that Jarry returns in time for the team’s first playoff game, this recent development is not an optimistic one.

Goaltending is perhaps the single most important factor that can separate good teams from bad teams, and this season Jarry has greatly helped the Penguins distinguish themselves as firmly in the “good” category. Jarry, 26, has bounced back from the pessimism surrounding his play in the 2021 playoffs to post a strong .919 save percentage in 58 appearances this season. There have been many nights where Jarry’s heroics have given the Penguins a chance to win their game. Given Jarry’s struggles in last season’s playoffs, it is likely very important to both the team and the player that Jarry is able to carry over his regular-season performance into the playoffs, in order to wash away the stain some of last year’s mistakes have made on his reputation as a potentially elite goaltender.

While a week-to-week designation does leave room for Jarry to return in time for the playoffs, it still does do some damage to the Penguins’ outlook this season. Even if his return is quick and he manages to re-enter the lineup in time for the playoffs, he will have lost a few valuable starts that could help him ramp up for the increased intensity of playoff hockey. That being said, though, a return from injury with little time to ramp up did not seem to hurt Montreal’s Carey Price when he was in a similar situation last season. So, this injury is far from a death sentence for the Penguins’ season, but as of right now the team and its fanbase have to warm themselves up to the possibility of backup Casey DeSmith still manning the crease by the time the playoffs start. DeSmith has not been bad this season, with a .906 mark in 21 games, but he has not matched Jarry’s brilliance. With uncertain futures ahead for franchise icons Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang, this injury development further clouds the near-term future of the Penguins.

    Is there a way to combine a sigh with an UHGGG?

    Siuuhhhhggggg.

    So, even if he comes back, he comes back rusty with the weight of last year’s playoff implosion staring him in the face…? Cool.

      @forwhomjoshbelltolled – We may have jinxed him with our talk of elite netminders. Since you and I discussed it, I actually bumped him in, as it seemed every Pens game had Josh saying “Great save by Jarry”… a lot. The injury bug, overall, couldn’t have worse timing.
