Tristan Jarry’s return from the Olympic break was disappointing for the Edmonton Oilers. The team faced the Anaheim Ducks on Wednesday and lost 6-5, leading to Jarry’s early withdrawal in the third period.
Game Details
During the match, Jarry allowed five goals on 25 shots. The Oilers had strong starts, leading 2-0, 4-2, and 5-4 at different points in the game. Unfortunately, they were unable to hold these leads.
Key Moments
- Jarry was replaced by Connor Ingram after faltering in the third period.
- Cutter Gauthrier scored the game-winning goal for the Ducks with just over one minute remaining.
Coaches’ Remarks
Head coach Kris Knoblauch expressed dissatisfaction with Jarry’s performance. He noted the importance of reliable goaltending, especially after the team conceded several goals in the third period.
“I wasn’t happy with the goaltending, especially in the third period,” Knoblauch stated. “Tonight wasn’t one of his best games.”
Tristan Jarry’s Performance
Jarry joined the Oilers from the Pittsburgh Penguins in December. However, he has struggled with his new team, achieving only a .869 save percentage in 11 games prior to facing the Ducks.
He previously missed games due to a lower-body injury sustained in late December. Jarry admitted, “If I can do a better job just keeping the puck out, I think we have a better chance.”
Injury Updates
The Oilers also faced a setback with forward Mattias Janmark, who left the game against the Ducks due to an undisclosed injury. Janmark did not return after the first period.
Impact on Standings
The Ducks’ victory allowed them to move one point ahead of the Oilers in the Pacific Division standings.
