Tristan Jarry

Growing up in Surrey and later North Delta, Tristan Jarry learned the position in summer goalie camps and developed under the guidance of a private coach. Those early years shaped a methodical netminder who prized positioning and calm under pressure. A nickname from his junior days, “Tom and Jerry,” would eventually appear on his mask and follow him through his career.

Jarry joined the Edmonton Oil Kings as a teenager in the WHL, spending his first season as a backup before taking over the starter’s role. In 2013–14 he played the bulk of the schedule, leading his team in wins and shutouts, and helped Edmonton capture the 2014 Memorial Cup, making 32 saves in the championship game. His junior résumé includes consecutive seasons with top conference honours and strong statistical seasons that put him on NHL radars.

Selected 44th overall by the Pittsburgh Penguins in the 2013 draft, Jarry turned pro with the Wilkes‑Barre/Scranton Penguins in 2015 and made his NHL debut in April 2017. Over parts of ten seasons in Pittsburgh he moved between the AHL and NHL, served both as backup and starter, earned invitations to NHL All‑Star Games, received contract extensions, and was part of championship environments where he received team rings.

A major transition came on 12 December 2025, when Pittsburgh traded him to the Edmonton Oilers. He initially took over the starting job from the outgoing goaltender but struggled for consistency, posting a low save percentage in his first 15 starts with Edmonton and ultimately moving into a backup role behind Connor Ingram for the remainder of the 2025–26 campaign.

On the ice, Jarry’s game centres on technical positioning, steady rebound control and composure in traffic. Across juniors, the AHL and the NHL he has shown an ability to step up in high‑pressure games, while his mask art remains a personal signature linking back to his early teammates and roots.
