Tristan Jarry, now with the Edmonton Oilers, has struggled with consistency during his NHL career, facing challenges with the Pittsburgh Penguins that included clearing waivers. At 31, Jarry needs to provide reliable goaltending for the Oilers with expectations for around 45 starts and a save percentage between.905 and.910 this season. His recent performance includes a.909 save percentage in 14 games with the Oilers last season followed by a.908 in six playoff games. To maximize Jarry's impact, the Oilers' new coach Mike Babcock is expected to impose stricter structure and accountability on the team's overall performance.
