The 2024-25 season was a tough year for Pittsburgh Penguins goalie Tristan Jarry. In 36 games with the Metropolitan Division club, he recorded a 16-12-16 record, a .893 save percentage, and a 3.12 goals-against average. This was the first time Jarry had a save percentage under .900 since the 2018-19 season, and he only made two appearances with Pittsburgh that campaign.
Jarry's struggles during the 2024-25 campaign also led to him being placed on waivers in January. After not being claimed by another club, he was sent down to the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, where he had a 6-5-1 record, a .908 save percentage, and a 2.67 goals-against average. Following this, he would later be called back up to Pittsburgh's roster in March.
While Jarry undoubtedly had a tough year in 2024-25, he is a bounce-back candidate to watch next season. He has shown during his career that he can be a far better goalie at the NHL level, and it would be understandable if he got things back on track in 2025-26 because of it. This is especially so when noting that he played better after being called back up to Pittsburgh's roster later in the season.
Nevertheless, it is going to be very interesting to see what kind of year Jarry can put together for the Penguins next season from here. A bounce-back season would be big for both him and the Penguins, but time will tell what happens on that front.
