It was one of those games where fans expected the most from goalie Tristan Jarry between the pipes.
However, that never happened, as the Pittsburgh Penguins were beaten by one of their biggest rivals, the Washington Capitals, 4-3 at PPG Paints Arena on Tuesday.
Pittsburgh Penguins fans were extremely disappointed with Jarry's showdown between the pipes in the matchup.
The Caps got off to a flying start and went on to score four goals in the first period. Tristan Jarry, meanwhile, conceded three goals in 13 minutes with a .571 SV%. He was then replaced by Alex Nedelijkovic in the net.
Despite going 4-0 down in the first period, the Penguins rallied for a remarkable comeback but fell short of one goal in tying the game.
Pens fans took to X, formerly Twitter, to react to the defeat, with many pointing fingers at Tristan Jarry for his lackluster performance.
One fan tweeted:
"Jarrry is washed .. we over paid a back up and it’s costing a mid team games"
