The Edmonton Oilers acquired Tristan Jarry from the Pittsburgh Penguins for fellow goaltender Stuart Skinner as part of a blockbuster trade on Friday morning.

Edmonton also received minor-league forward Samuel Poulin in the deal from Pittsburgh, which picked up defenseman Brett Kulak and a second-round selection in the 2029 NHL Draft.

The Oilers also made another trade Friday, acquiring defenseman Spencer Stastney from the Nashville Predators in exchange for a third-round pick in the 2027 NHL Draft.

Edmonton has been plagued by inconsistent goaltending during its respective runs to the Stanley Cup Final in each of the last two seasons. This season, the Oilers own the second-worst team save percentage (.873) in the NHL.

Jarry, 30, is 9-3-1 with one shutout, a 2.66 goals-against average and .909 save percentage in 14 games (13 starts) this season. He is playing in the third season of a five-year, $26.875 million contract.

Jarry is 161-100-32 with 22 shutouts, a 2.74 GAA and .909 save percentage in 307 career games (294 starts) since being selected by the Penguins in the second round of the 2013 NHL Draft.

Skinner, 27, is 11-8-4 with two shutouts, a 2.83 GAA and .891 save percentage in 23 games (all starts) this season. The Edmonton native is playing in the final campaign of a three-year, $7.8 million contract and can become an unrestricted free agent after the season.

Skinner owns a 109-62-18 record with nine shutouts with a 2.74 GAA and .904 save percentage in 197 career games (191 starts) since being selected by the Oilers in the third round of the 2017 NHL Draft.

Poulin, 24, has been held off the scoresheet in two games with Pittsburgh this season.

He has two assists in 15 career games with the Penguins since being selected by the club with the 21st overall pick of the 2019 NHL Draft.

Kulak, 31, has two assists in 31 games this season.

The Edmonton native has 127 points (28 goals, 99 assists) in 611 career games with the Flames, Montreal Canadiens and Oilers. He was selected by Calgary in the fourth round of the 2012 NHL Draft.

Stastney, 25, has recorded nine points (one goal, eight assists) in 30 games this season.

He has 18 points (three goals, 15 assists) in 81 career games with the Predators.
