Witness the moment:
GOALIE GOAL! GOALIE GOAL! GOALIE GOAL!
Jarry showcased impressive skill, cradling the puck with precision, achieving good height, and benefiting from a fortunate bounce.
A historic feat, Jarry becomes the first goaltender in Penguins history to score a goal. Interestingly, he previously scored a goal in 2018 with the Wilkes-Barre Scranton Penguins, the team's AHL affiliate.
Scoring as a goalie is noteworthy, but scoring in two professional leagues is truly exceptional!
Take a bow, Mr. Jarry!
Adding to the surreal narrative, Jarry's backup, Alex Nedeljkovic, scored a goal for Wilkes-Barre Scranton Penguins just two weekends ago. Two goalie goals for the Penguins in less than 12 days is nothing short of extraordinary!
Jarry's goal sealed a significant victory for the Penguins over the Lightning, improving their record to 11-10-1 and placing them above .500 for the first time this season.
A team struggling to find its rhythm, this moment has the potential to unite and boost the Penguins' confidence as they approach back-to-back games against the Flyers this weekend.
Curiously, the Penguins are set for a rematch in Tampa on Wednesday evening. One can only hope they unleash Jarry's offensive prowess on the power play, even if just for a playful attempt to elevate his shooting percentage.
In jest or not, this monumental moment signifies a crucial win for a team that has faced its fair share of challenges at the start of the season.
