Penguins Practice: Tristan Jarry Going on Waivers

CRANBERRY — The Penguins announced that goaltender Tristan Jarry will be going on waivers this afternoon.

If he is not claimed by 2 p.m. Thursday, he can be assigned to the Penguins’ farm team in Wilkes-Barre, although the team would not be obliged to send him there.

Jarry, who is not on the ice for the Penguins’ midday practice at UPMC Lemieux Sports Complex, is 8-8-4, with a 3.31 goals-against average and .886 save percentage this season.

Jarry’s goaltending partner, Alex Nedeljkovic, is involved in the workout.

Jarry was in goal for the Penguins’ 4-2 loss to Seattle at PPG Paints Arena Tuesday. He met with the media after the game and did not appear to be injured.

Just how much interest he might generate around the league is difficult to predict, because Jarry not only has struggled for most of the season but is in just the second season of a five-year contract that carries a salary-cap hit of $5,375,000.

Word that he would be waived came via one of the Penguins’ social media accounts.

There was no immediate word on who would take Jarry’s place on the major-league roster if another team claims him or he is sent to Wilkes-Barre, but Joel Blomqvist, one of the Penguins’ top prospects, appears to be the leading candidate.

Blomqvist has appeared in eight games with the Penguins — seven of them starts — in 2024-25, recording a 3-5 record, 3.60 goals-against average and .904 save percentage.

Forward Cody Glass, who suffered an unspecified injury during the Kraken game, did not practice today.

Standing room only

While only about two dozen fans were on hand for practice, it was close to a full house on the management balcony overlooking the rink, at least in the early portion of the session.

Kyle Dubas, the Penguins’ president of hockey operations and general manager, watched practice from there, along with more than 10 members of his staff and the team’s pro scouting staff, who are in town for meetings.

Wishes granted

Before the practice, the Penguins signed two children from the Make-A-Wish program to one-day contracts.

There was no immediate word on whether either has requested a trade to a contender.

St. Ivany skates

Injured defenseman Jack St. Ivany had a long on-ice workout ahead of the team session.

Although St. Ivany is a member of the Penguins’ American Hockey League farm team, he is here on a rehabilitation assignment.
