Marek: Oilers\u2019 Jarry has a \u2018doomsday clock\u2019 on him after poor start against Dallas<\/p>\n
Tristan Jarry<\/a> put up one of the worst starts in his time so far with the Edmonton Oilers<\/a> on Thursday night. Facing the red-hot Dallas Stars, Jarry conceded a season-high seven goals on 27 shots, as the Oilers fell 7-2.Earlier this week, Jarry came in for an injured Connor Ingram against the Colorado Avalanche<\/a>, and helped the team to a 4-3 win. After that victory over the league leaders, there was hope Jarry would ride the confidence and start having more success. Unfortunately, he responded with a poor performance on Thursday.In the wake of the Dallas game, Jeff Marek joined Oilersnation Everyday<\/a> on Friday to give his take on Edmonton\u2019s goaltending situation. As playoffs quickly approach, Marek outlined the dire spot the Oilers find themselves in with Jarry.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t think that right now you say he\u2019s done and unsalvageable, but man, you got a doomsday clock on you, kid,\u201d Marek said. \u201cDoes it not feel like there\u2019s a doomsday clock on Tristan Jarry right now? Cause there is.\u201d<\/p>\n Thursday\u2019s loss leaves the Oilers in a strange position. They are just three points back from tying the division-leading Anaheim Ducks. At the same time, they are just five points above falling out of playoff contention. With just 16 games remaining in the season, the Oilers are fighting for crucial points nightly. Because of that, they don\u2019t have the luxury of experimenting too much with their goaltending situation right now, but Jarry hasn\u2019t proven he can be relied on either.<\/p>\n \u201cHorrible spot to be in, just terrible,\u201d Marek said. \u201cIt almost seems as if right now the Oilers have been given enough rope to either swing or hang. Take your pick, it\u2019s going to be one or the other. \u2026 That\u2019s why you can\u2019t just say, this is your set of games to run with. You need to go game to game.\u201d<\/p>\n So far in 15 appearances with the Oilers, Jarry has a 7-6-1 record, with a .855 SV%. Ingram, meanwhile, has a 9-6-1 record and a .892 SV%. Jarry is signed through the 2027-28 season, while Ingram is set to become a UFA this summer.<\/p>\n The Oilers return to the ice on Friday, facing off against the St Louis Blues. Head coach Kris Knoblauch has yet to confirm who will earn the start for Edmonton.<\/p>\n You can tune into the full episode of\u00a0Oilersnation Everyday below.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n ARTICLE PRESENTED BY bet365<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Marek: Oilers\u2019 Jarry has a \u2018doomsday clock\u2019 on him after poor start against Dallas Tristan Jarry put up…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":535260,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[433],"tags":[49,48,448,82],"class_list":["post-535259","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-nhl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/535259","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=535259"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/535259\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/535260"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=535259"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=535259"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=535259"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
