2025 Fantasy Outlook
There were more lows than highs for Jarry in 2024-25, a season that saw the netminder waived to AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton in January. At the time, he had a 3.31 GAA and a .884 save percentage in 22 games. That looked to be the end of his time with the Penguins, but Jarry got a chance at redemption and took it late in the year, going 8-4-2 with a 2.81 GAA and a .904 save percentage over 14 games after the trade deadline. At this point, nobody's expecting Vezina numbers from Jarry, especially behind a Pittsburgh defense that rarely makes his job easier. If last season proved anything, it's that nothing is guaranteed in the NHL, even with a $5.375 million cap hit. Jarry can be helpful as a No. 3 goalie in fantasy if he gets the starting job, but his numbers are likely to be volatile again in 2025-26. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a five-year, $26.88 million contract with the Penguins in July of 2023.
Facing Islanders
GPittsburgh Penguins
October 9, 2025
Jarry will patrol the home crease versus the Islanders on Thursday, per Matt Vensel of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
ANALYSIS
Jarry did not start Opening Night as Arturs Silovs shut out the Rangers in a 3-0 victory. Head coach Dan Muse said Thursday that he wanted both goaltenders to play early in the season, so Jarry will see some time in the net Thursday. Jarry was 16-12-6 with a 3.12 GAA and an .892 save percentage across 36 regular-season appearances for Pittsburgh in 2024-25.

Once again, Jarry enters the upcoming campaign surrounded by more questions than answers after the netminder was dropped from the starting gig in the final month of the 2023-24 season in favor of Alex Nedeljkovic. The 29-year-old Jarry was limited to just one appearance in the Penguins' final 12 games of the season. It was also the first time since 2018-19, when he played in just two games, that the polarizing backstop failed to reach the 20-win mark, finishing the year with a 19-25-5 record. Still, the British Columbia-born goaltender showed flashes of his talent, posting a league-high six shutouts, which further confuses the netminding situation in Pittsburgh. At least for now, Jarry figures to be the No. 1 option heading into training camp but could certainly be challenged for the starting job - especially with Nedeljkovic back with the Penguins on a two-year contract to compete with him.
After a breakout 2021-22 season, Jarry faced some regression last year. He went 24-13-7 with a .909 save percentage and a 2.90 GAA, his worst GAA out of any NHL season with at least three games played. The Penguins still have faith in him and he landed a five-year extension this offseason. Jarry missed 16 of 18 games around the halfway point of the season and didn't look like his usual self afterward. He registered a .918 save percentage in 25 games before the injury and an unsightly .890 mark in 20 games after. Assuming he stays healthy, the 28-year-old could get 60 starts as the Penguins will likely want to shelter the usage of new backup Alex Nedeljkovic. Jarry is just one year removed from his career-best 2.42 GAA in 58 appearances during the 2021-22 campaign.
In his first season as Pittsburgh's unquestioned No. 1 goaltender, Jarry delivered. His 34 wins and 2.42 GAA were both career-best marks, while his .919 save percentage was the second-best of his career. Jarry missed eight of the Penguins' final nine regular season games with a foot injury, before being sidelined for their first six playoff contests. He returned for Game 7 in Round 1 against the Rangers, ultimately losing 4-3 in overtime on an Artemi Panarin goal in a game in which he was still clearly hampered by the issue. Jarry was expected to return to full health long before the start of the 2022-23 campaign, leaving him as a high-end No. 2 fantasy netminder on draft day.
Jarry won the starting job in Pittsburgh after a solid 2019-20 campaign during which he registered a .921 save percentage and a 2.43 GAA through 33 games. However, he struggled in a bigger role last season, posting a 2.75 GAA and a .909 save percentage, though he still went 25-9-3 thanks to the Penguins' elite offensive output. Things got worse when the 26-year-old allowed 21 goals across six postseason games in a first-round exit. Jarry is expected to enter the 2021-22 campaign as the team's No. 1 netminder, but inconsistency could lead to Casey DeSmith seeing more action or the Penguins looking for outside help.
For the second time in just four years, there will be a changing of the guard for the Penguins between the pipes. Jarry will take on the role of No. 1 backstop in the Black & Gold following the departure of Matt Murray to Ottawa via a trade this offseason. Just two seasons ago general manager Jim Rutherford was trying to ship out Jarry, but luckily for him he was unable to find any suitors. Jarry completely outplayed Murray in 2019-20, putting together a 20-12-1 record with three shutouts and a .921 save percentage in 33 appearances while earning himself an All-Star selection. Heading into 2020-21, the puck-playing netminder will see the bulk of the workload, though a condensed schedule could see him limited to closer to a 60/40 split with backup Casey DeSmith.
After battling Casey DeSmith for the backup job heading into the 2018-19 campaign, Jarry found himself starting the year in AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. DeSmith's performance as Matt Murray's backup convinced the Penguins to sign him to a three-year contract extension in January, which all but closed the door on Jarry's long-term future with the club. The 24-year-old figures to be the No. 1 option for the Baby Pens this season, and he'll likely only see NHL time if Matt Murray or DeSmith go down with an injury.
The lone certainty for Jarry heading into the 2018-19 campaign is that he is under contract with the Penguins for another two years. The backup situation behind Matt Murray likely won't be “decided” until closer to the end of training camp, and even then, it should be considered fluid at best as both the 23-year-old and Casey DeSmith are on two-way deals and can be flipped between Pittsburgh and AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. Selected with the 44th overall pick of the 2013 NHL Entry Draft, the No. 2 job is likely Jarry's to lose. Given Murray's chronic battle with the injury bug, savvy fantasy owners will be monitoring this situation closely throughout the upcoming season.
A second-round pick in 2013, Jarry exceeded expectations with a marvelous WHL season for the Edmonton Oil Kings in 2013-14. He compiled a 44-14-3 mark with a 2.24 GAA and .914 save percentage, while recording eight shutouts. As a 19-year-old, Jarry remains too young to play in the AHL, so unless he surprises everybody by breaking camp with the Penguins, Jarry will return to the Oil Kings for another season. As such, Jarry has little-to-no value in single-season leagues, but may be worth stashing in keeper leagues. New GM Jim Rutherford has a history of going with young netminders, as evidenced by his aggressive promotion of Cam Ward in 2005-06, giving Jarry hope for a rapid ascension when he turns pro.
Pittsburgh selected Jarry with its top pick in the 2013 draft, taking the goaltender 44th overall. As such, he becomes an immediate target in keeper fantasy leagues. Starter Marc-Andre Fleury has but two years left on his deal and Tomas Vokoun is 37. The Pens signed top collegiate netminder, Eric Hartzell, and the organization has Jeff Zatkoff at the AHL level, but Jarry figures to get his chance in a couple years. For his part, Jarry went 18-7 with a 1.61 GAA and .936 save percentage in the WHIL with the Edmonton Oil Kings. He's the perfect goalie to put in your back pocket and pull him out in a couple years to see where he stands.

Starting Thursday?
GPittsburgh Penguins
October 9, 2025
Jarry skipped Thursday's optional game-day skate, Matt Vensel of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports, which could be an indication he'll get the starting nod at home versus the Isles.
ANALYSIS
Jarry was surprisingly relegated to the backup role for the Penguins' season opener versus the Rangers on Tuesday, but could be making his 2025-26 debut for the home opener Thursday. At this point, it looks like new head coach Dan Muse is gearing up for a split share situation between Jarry and Arturs Silovs, though youngster Sergei Murashov could force his way into the discussion as well.
