Pittsburgh Penguins goalie Tristan Jarry was upset with one of the goals he allowed to the Ottawa Senators on Saturday and believed the play should be taken out of the game.
The specific goal he was upset with put the Senators up 2-1 in the third period. Ottawa went on to win 3-2 in overtime.
The goal was scored by Drake Batherson, who planted himself at the back post and re-directed a cross-ice pass from Thomas Chabot past Jarry.
The Penguins goalie was not happy with the way the goal was scored and shared his feelings with reporters after the game.
“I don’t know how you take that out of the game but I don’t think you should be allowed to stand there and let the guy shoot it off you,” Jarry said. “I think it’s almost impossible to stop. Like, he gets position on our player and he just parks himself at the back post and their guy just shoots it off him.
“It’s a tough play and I think it’s not part of hockey.”
It’s been a difficult start to the season for Jarry, a two-time all-star. He currently ranks 46th in the NHL with a .886 save percentage and his 3.59 goals-against average is 51st. He spent two weeks in the AHL on a conditioning loan in early November to help get his game back on track.
