Pens agree to terms with netminder Tristan Jarry on 2-year deal

The Pittsburgh Penguins agreed to terms with goaltender Tristan Jarry on a two-year contract worth an average annual value of $675,000, the team announced.

The first year of the contract is a two-way deal, but it becomes a one-way pact in 2019-20.

Jarry played in 26 games last season during his rookie year with the Penguins, posting a 2.77 goals-against average and a .908 save percentage. The 23-year-old spent the bulk of the 2017-18 campaign in the AHL where he struggled to the tune of a 3.05 goals-against average and a .901 save percentage.

He will likely compete for the Penguins' backup goaltender job with Casey DeSmith in training camp. DeSmith had better numbers last year and is three years Jarry's senior, so he'll likely have the upper hand.
