It’s been several years since Tristan Jarry started a game for the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins. As part of the ongoing melodrama involving Jarry’s struggles and the crowded Pittsburgh Penguins field, the team assigned Jarry to WBS Saturday morning for a conditioning assignment.

Jarry, 29, quickly stopped 32 of 34 shots and earned first star honors as WBS defeated the Syracuse Crunch 3-2 at Mohegan Sun Arena. Packing missions can last up to 14 days.

It was the first time since the 2018-19 season that Jarry played for WBS. The following season, he beat out Casey DeSmith for the Penguin backup role, and shortly after, he overtook the starter. Matt Murray for position #1. The following summer, the Penguins traded Murray to the Ottawa Senators, and Jarry has been the Penguins’ starting goaltender ever since.
