The Penguins have traded goaltender Tristan Jarry to the Western Conference. The team announced on Friday morning that goaltender Tristan Jarry and forward Sam Poulin were sent to the Edmonton Oilers in exchange for goaltender Stuart Skinner, defenseman Brett Kulak, and a 2029 second-round pick.
Both goaltenders have struggled with consistency during their careers. However, Jarry has never won a playoff series, while Skinner backstopped the Oilers to the last two Stanley Cup Finals. The latter could improve away from Edmonton’s harsh spotlight.
Friday night, Connor Ryckman, Vaughn’s equipment rep who works out of the London factory, loaded the equipment into his car and drove it two and a half hours northeast to the Oilers’ team hotel in downtown Toronto. Lang received it there and brought it with the team to Scotiabank Arena for the Oilers’ skate the following morning.
The Penguins conclude their five-game homestand as they take on the Edmonton Oilers at PPG Paints Arena. Puck drop is set for 7:30 PM. This game will be available to watch on TNT. Fans can listen to the game on 105.
