Tristan Jarry’s 30 Saves Help Oilers Edge Flyers in Overtime

Tristan Jarry delivered another strong performance in goal as the Edmonton Oilers beat the Philadelphia Flyers 3-2 in overtime on Wednesday. The goaltender stopped 30 shots, while Evan Bouchard scored the decisive goal and Zach Hyman found the net twice, according to the report. The win was Edmonton’s third in a row and matched the second-best start in franchise history through 20 games. The team has relied on its goaltenders in recent outings, with Jarry’s display following Devon Levi’s 28-save effort in a 3-1 victory over the New York Rangers on Monday. Jarry said the Oilers did well to limit rebound chances and that he could see many of the shots clearly. He entered Wednesday’s game with a .923 save percentage, a 2.10 goals-against average and two shutouts across seven starts, according to the article. The report said Edmonton’s goaltenders have posted the NHL’s best save percentage since Oct. 3, after difficult outings in the team’s first two games against Vancouver. Hyman praised the goalies for making the saves needed to give the Oilers a chance to win. Jarry also described the competition between himself and Levi as a way to keep each other sharp and ready when called upon. The article noted that veteran Frederik Andersen is another option, though he is expected to be ready early in the new year after an injury sustained during summer training.
