Oilers' Tristan Jarry Placed on IR with Injury

The Edmonton Oilers have placed goaltender Tristan Jarry on injured reserve due to a lower-body injury sustained during their game against the Boston Bruins. Jarry, who was acquired from the Pittsburgh Penguins on December 12, appeared to injure himself while moving across his crease late in the second period.

He left the ice slowly and was replaced by Calvin Pickard, who helped secure a 3-1 victory for the Oilers. Jarry has only made three starts for Edmonton since joining the team, boasting a record of 12 wins, 3 losses, and 1 overtime loss, with a goals-against average of 2.73 and a save percentage of .906.

In response to Jarry's injury, the Oilers recalled Connor Ingram from the AHL, further complicating their goaltending depth as they look to maintain their playoff aspirations. Jarry's injury marks a significant setback for the Oilers, who were banking on his veteran experience to lead their goaltending corps this season.

Without him, the team will rely heavily on Pickard, who has struggled with a .858 save percentage, and Ingram, who has faced challenges in Bakersfield with an .856 save percentage this season.
