Chiodo builds 'a lot of trust' with Jarry, DeSmith

TAMPA, Fla. -- When the Penguins fired goaltending coach Mike Buckley and promoted then-goaltending development coach Andy Chiodo to the main position back in August, one of the first things Ron Hextall said about Chiodo was that he "emphasizes the importance of life habits and the mental approach to the game."

Through the first five months of the season, Tristan Jarry is on pace for a career year. Now a two-time All-Star, Jarry's save goals-against average of 2.33 is a career-best, and his .921 save percentage ties his previous career-best from the 2019-20 season.
