How concerning is Tristan Jarry, Oilers teammates 'getting into it' at practice?

On the latest episode of the "32 Thoughts: The Podcast," Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman brought up an incident involving Edmonton Oilers’ goaltender Tristan Jarry and some of his teammates.

According to Friedman, Jarry “got into it at practice” with some of his Oilers teammates, and while he didn’t go into details on the alleged incident, it does symbolize a frustrating year for an Edmonton group that’s trying to make the Stanley Cup Final for a third consecutive season.

Through 13 games with the Oilers, Jarry is 6-5-1 with an .862 save percentage (SV%) and 3.96 goals against average (GAA). In his last 10 appearances, Jarry has a minus-6.1 goals saved above expected (GSAx).

On Tuesday’s episode of Daily Faceoff LIVE, Tyler Yaremchuk and former NHL video coach Steve Peters discuss the rumors in Edmonton and whether it will have an impact on the season.

Tyler Yaremchuk: I’m of the camp that this s–t happens over the course of a season, and when you’re losing, everyone is frustrated, and some people are more outspoken with their frustration than others.

But when you look at how many games Edmonton has lost this year because of their goaltending, the fact that there’s maybe some fraction there, what would your concern level be when you read this headline?

Steve Peters: Not very concerned. We talked about this on Oilers Nation the other day, about how whether it’s the goalie’s fault or if it’s how they defend. To see a goalie be vocal to his teammates is not uncommon, but to do it on the ice when the media is around, it is.

In my 22 years with the Arizona Coyotes organization, there’s been multiple fistfights in the locker room. It happens. Goalies get involved because they’re at the pinnacle of the position. Games can live and die on how they play.

Now if it’s because, “hey, we’ve got to be better defensively and I’m doing the best I can, you guys need to help me,” that’s one message. Or, if it’s, “you guys stink and I’m trying to save the day,” that’s bad.
