The Edmonton Oilers<\/a> were supposed to be getting a goalie upgrade.<\/p>\n

When they made a multi-piece deal with the Pittsburgh Penguins<\/a> earlier this season, the main purpose was to swap out Stuart Skinner and plug in Tristan Jarry.<\/p>\n

Based on their numbers prior to the trade, the Oilers were getting an improvement.<\/p>\n

Jarry, though, in addition to missing time with injury has simply not been very good for Edmonton.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday night, he was pulled after allowing five goals on 24 shot attempts against the Anaheim Ducks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He has now played 12 games with the Oilers and has an 86.3 save percentage.<\/p>\n

With the Penguins this season, Jarry had put up a 90.9 save percentage.<\/p>\n

So what gives?<\/p>\n

Well, there are two ways of looking at this. Either the Oilers’ defense is always going to be leaky no matter the goaltender, and that contributes to all of their goalie play being less than ideal. Or there’s been some kind of negative downturn for Jarry since the deal.<\/p>\n

His injury absence can’t have helped him get a rhythm, either.<\/p>\n

The best thing the Oilers can do at this point is keep trotting Jarry out there down the stretch to try to get him in a groove. Maybe it doesn’t work, but he’s the most naturally talented goalie on the roster, so they’ve got to give him a runway.<\/p>\n

Maybe with more consistent game time, Jarry will rediscover his top form. That’s what the Oilers have to hope for, because that’s why they traded for him in the first place.<\/p>\n
