Jarry kicked out 26 of 30 shots in a 5-4 victory over the Islanders in Game 3 on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Jarry appeared to be in good shape sitting on a 3-1 lead after 40 minutes, but things opened up in the third period when the Islanders tied the game within the first six minutes. Brandon Tanev's goal with 3:36 left in the stanza allowed Jarry and the Penguins to escape with the one-goal victory and 2-1 series lead. Jarry has started all three games in the series, logging a 2.75 GAA and .917 save percentage.

Jarry will patrol the road crease for Thursday's matchup against the Islanders, Andrew Gross of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jarry has had a strong start to the series, going 1-1-0 while stopping 74 of 79 shots through the first two games. The 26-year-old will draw his fourth start in his playoff career, as he's gone 1-2-0 along with a .940 save percentage and 1.84 GAA to this point. Jarry will need to be sharp despite his lack of playoff experience if the Penguins want to seize the series lead.

Jarry stopped 37 of 38 shots Tuesday in a 2-1 win over the Islanders in Game 2.

EDGE Analysis

Jarry was terrific for Pittsburgh, allowing just a Josh Bailey goal with 5:16 remaining in the second period en route to his first NHL playoff victory. It was a strong bounce-back performance by the 26-year-old Jarry, who gave up four goals in the series opener. He'll be back between the pipes for Game 3 on Thursday.

Jarry is slated to be between the pipes for Game 2 against the Islanders on Tuesday, Pens Inside Scoop reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jarry was peppered with pucks during Game 1, as he faced 41 shots and gave up four goals along the way. It was the third time in his last six starts that the 26-year-old netminder has allowed four goals, though he is 4-1-0 in those contests. Unless Jarry can rediscover his game, it could be another first-round exit for the Penguins.

Jarry allowed four goals on 41 shots Sunday in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Islanders in Game 1.

EDGE Analysis

Jarry was vulnerable to high shots in this one, with three of New York's four tallies going top shelf. Kyle Palmieri's goal that opened the scoring in the first period came on a harmless-looking 2-on-2 entry, and Palmieri's winner in overtime from the bottom of the right circle somehow found space between Jarry's shoulder and the near post. The 26-year-old Jarry went 25-9-3 during the regular season but will need a stronger performance in Game 2.

Jarry will start Sunday's Game 1 against the Islanders, Wes Crosby of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Jarry posted an impressive 25-9-3 record along with a 2.75 GAA and .909 save percentage in the regular season, as Pittsburgh's explosive offense papered over his pedestrian rate stats. That offense could find sledding tougher against the defensive-minded Islanders, so Jarry will need to hold up his end of the bargain by slowing down Matthew Barzal and company. With top backup Casey DeSmith (lower body) unavailable to start the playoffs, Pittsburgh could be in a pickle if Jarry -- who has just one game of playoff experience -- struggles.

Jarry (upper body) expects to be fully fit for Game 1 against the Islanders on Sunday, telling reporters he is "ready to go, ready to play", Wes Crosby of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

While coach Mike Sullivan has yet to officially name a starter, it almost certainly will be Jarry considering he appeared in 39 games for the Penguins this season, posting a 25-9-3 record with two shutouts and a 2.75 GAA. An injury to Casey DeSmith (upper body) at Friday's practice session could leave Pittsburgh without a viable alternative behind Jarry heading into the postseason.

Jarry (upper body) was on the ice for Wednesday's practice session.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Mike Sullivan has maintained that Jarry and backup Casey DeSmith (lower body) are both expected to be available for Game 1 of the postseason series versus the Islanders, and the two netminders' return to practice seems to support that stance. While DeSmith put up decent numbers this year, Jarry is a lock to be the Penguins' playoff starter and should carry the load unless he completely falls apart.

Jarry suffered an upper-body injury and will miss the season finale against Buffalo on Saturday, but he's expected to be ready for the playoffs. Coach Mike Sullivan told reporters, "Tristan is day-to-day with an upper-body injury. Casey is day-to-day with a lower-body injury. They will be available for the playoffs, but neither one of them will be available for tomorrow's game."

EDGE Analysis

Jarry finished Thursday's clash with the Sabres, though he did concede four goals on 23 shots. Without either of their primary netminders available, the Penguins will likely turn to Max Lagace for their regular-season finale, which won't improve their chances of clinching the East Division title.

Jarry gave up four goals on 23 shots in Thursday's 8-4 win over the Sabres.

EDGE Analysis

Jarry wasn't great Thursday, but a four-goal game from Jeff Carter helped offset the goalie's struggles. The 26-year-old Jarry improved to 25-9-3 with a 2.75 GAA and a .909 save percentage in 39 appearances. As long as Casey DeSmith (lower body) is out, Jarry is the unquestioned No. 1 in the Penguins' crease.
