When Tristan Jarry<\/a> began his big-league career with the Pittsburgh Penguins<\/a> during the 2016-17 season, he never imagined he would suit up with another NHL team. <\/p>\n

But on Friday, he, alongside minor-leaguer Sam Poulin, was sent to the\u00a0Edmonton Oilers<\/a>\u00a0in exchange for Stuart Skinner, Brett Kulak and a second-round pick.<\/p>\n

“Yeah, it’s different,” Jarry told reporters in Pittsburgh on Monday, ahead of his return to PPG Paints Arena. “It’s something that I always thought \u2014\u00a0that I would never play for another team, honestly.”<\/p>\n

Jarry played 307 NHL games with the Penguins during his tenure with the team, which spanned parts of 10 seasons.<\/p>\n

He became a starter for the Penguins in 2021-22, when he appeared in 58 games and posted a .919 save percentage and a 2.42 goals-against average, also earning him a trip to the all-star game. <\/p>\n

He re-signed with the Penguins in the 2023 off-season, inking a five-year contract worth $26.9 million. <\/p>\n

“I loved Pittsburgh. I loved living there. I loved the city and everything that came with putting that jersey on. It was very special to me and it was anything and everything I could have imagined.”<\/p>\n

Over his career in Pittsburgh, he saw 161 wins, including a 9-3 record in 14 games played this season, prior to his trade.<\/p>\n

“You never know, I hope in a good way,” the Surrey, B.C., native smiled when asked how he thinks he’ll be received in his return. “I put my heart and soul into this team, and I hope they understand that. <\/p>\n

“You want to win every single game that you step on the ice, and I think that’s all I wanted to do, was to win in Pittsburgh. I hope I’m received that way.” <\/p>\n
