Goaltender Tristan Jarry on Thursday scored an empty-net goal and made 39 saves in the Pittsburgh Penguins 4-2 comeback victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Jarry stopped a dump-in and sent the puck end-to-end into the net with 1 minute, 8 seconds left.
“It was pretty lucky,” Jarry said. “It’s pretty neat, honestly. It’s something that doesn’t happen very often. There’s very few that have done it, so it’s definitely pretty cool, but honestly the win means more.”

Jarry is the fourth goalie to score in the past 10 years and 14th overall in the regular season. He looked at the boards at first for a potential clearing try before taking aim at the opposing goal with a lofted shot.
“It was just kind of the perfect scenario,” Jarry said. “It was coming in kind of slow, and I was able to just get around it and shoot as hard as I could.”
It was the first goal scored by a Penguins goaltender.

Jarry also had a goal for Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the American Hockey League on Nov. 14, 2018.
“I’m really happy for him,” Penguins star Sidney Crosby said.

After trailing 2-0, the Penguins took a 3-2 lead when Carter stopped an 18-game goal drought 2 minutes, 49 seconds into the third period with his 432nd NHL goal.
“It felt good,” Carter said. “It’s been a while.”
Crosby skated in along from the left wing boards and lifted home a nifty wrist shot from the left circle 8 minutes, 53 seconds into the second to make it 2-1.
O’Connor, playing in his 100th game, tied it at 2-2 with 36 seconds left in the second off a nice feed by Evgeni Malkin on the Penguins’ 19th shot of the period.
