Oilers place newly-acquired G Tristan Jarry on IR

The Edmonton Oilers placed newly-acquired No. 1 goaltender Tristan Jarry on injured reserve on Friday with a lower-body injury.

Jarry, who was making his third start for Edmonton on Thursday, awkwardly stretched across the crease late in the second period at Boston. With 3:52 left in the period, he slowly skated off the ice and was replaced by Calvin Pickard, who stopped all 13 shots in a 3-1 Oilers' victory.

In corresponding moves, Edmonton recalled goaltender Connor Ingram from Bakersfield of the American Hockey League and transferred forward Jack Roslovic to long-term injured reserve.

In an exchange of No. 1 goalies, the Pittsburgh Penguins sent Jarry and forward Sam Poulin to Edmonton on Dec. 12 for goaltender Stuart Skinner, defenseman Brett Kulak and their 2029 second-round draft selection.

Jarry was credited with the win vs. Boston and improved to 12-3-1 on the season. He has a 2.73 goals-against average and a .906 save percentage in 16 games.

The 30-year old British Columbia native owns a 2.75 GAA and .909 save percentage in 310 career contests, dating back to 2016-17.

Jarry was a second round pick of the Penguins (44th overall) in the 2013 NHL Entry Draft. He appeared in the NHL All-Star Game in the 2019-20 and 2021-22 seasons.
