Pittsburgh Penguins To Place Their Top Starting Goaltender On Waivers Today
In one of the most shocking moves of the season, it was revealed that the Pittsburgh Penguins have plans to waive their top goaltender today.
the Pittsburgh Penguins are fed up of losing, which has become quite the common theme this season. In a shocking announcement, it was revealed that they will be waiving their top goaltender later today.
Tristan Jarry to be placed on waivers
The Penguins will put Tristan Jarry on waivers later today at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, where he'll remain for 24 hours, as was first reported by NHL insider Chris Johnston.
If Jarry goes unclaimed, he can be assigned to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the AHL and the first $1.15 million of his cap hit would come off the Penguins' books. If he is claimed, the team that acquires him will take on the remainder of his entire contract.
Jarry has struggled mightily this season. Through his 21 starts, he has given up a goal very early on in games.
- Second shot he faces: 4 times
- Third shot he faces: 2 times
- Fourth shot he faces: 3 times
That's 15 times within the first four shots of a given game, which has been driving the management of the Penguins crazy. They have had absolutely no consistency from him this season.
Jarry was asked what went wrong in one of his losses earlier this season, and his answer definitely did not please his coaches or GM, which may have likely led to the waiver move today.
- Tristan Jarry
We will get an official confirmation in a few hours today that he has been waived, and then 24 hours after that, we will know if a team has decided to claim him.
