The Pittsburgh Penguins are facing significant challenges with their goaltending, particularly with Tristan Jarry, who has not met expectations since signing a contract extension. His performance has declined, leading to a stint in the AHL for conditioning.

Jarry is set to start against the Columbus Blue Jackets, a crucial opportunity for redemption. With competition from veteran Alex Nedeljkovic and promising prospect Joel Blomqvist, Jarry's future with the team may hinge on this performance.
