The San Jose Sharks are in Pittsburgh today for a day game against the Penguins. The big story is the move the Penguins just made in the net, trading the team’s top goaltender to the Edmonton Oilers for the Oilers’ top netminder. On Friday, it was announced the Penguins acquired Stuart Skinner, defenseman Brett Kulak and Edmonton’s 2029 second-round draft pick for goaltender Tristan Jarry and Sam Poulin.
The Penguins are 14-8-7 and are currently second in the Eastern Conference wild card race. While not outside of the playoff picture, this isn’t a go for it year for Pittsburgh, so to move Jarry out and get a piece that could be moved at the deadline in Kulak is a good piece of business for the Penguins.
