On Mar. 30, 2025, Pittsburgh Penguins netminder Tristan Jarry became the third goalie in franchise history to record 20 shutouts, blanking the Ottawa Senators 1-0.

He joins a list along with two of the greatest to strap on the pads in Pittsburgh, Marc-Andre Fleury and Tom Barrasso. Fleury is on his way to the Hockey Hall of Fame, while Barrasso earned his ring in 2023.

For the longest time, Barrasso was the only Penguins' netminder to record 20 shutouts, achieving his first on Dec. 28, 1990, and 22nd on Nov. 26, 1999. Overall, he recorded 22 shutouts in 460 games.

March Penguins Prospects Update: GoaltendersMarch Penguins Prospects Update: GoaltendersThere are some exciting developments down on the farm for the Pittsburgh Penguins.

During his 12 seasons in Pittsburgh, including two Stanley Cup titles in 1991 and 1992, Barrasso recorded seven shutouts in 1997-98, only the second time he'd post more than five (1984-85). 

Three seasons after Barrasso left the Penguins in 2000, the franchise drafted Fleury with the top pick in the 2003 Draft. He owns the team record with 44 shutouts, which may not be broken for quite some time.

At 21, Fleury collected his first shutout on Oct. 30, 2003, just his sixth NHL game. Eight seasons later, on Oct. 25, 2011, he'd earn his 20th shutout in game No. 375 before tying Barrasso's mark on Feb. 21, 2012. 

When Jarry shut out the Senators on Mar. 30, he earned his 20th career shutout in his 288th game, surpassing Fleury's mark for fewest games to 20 shutouts by 87 games. 

Pittsburgh Penguins Schedule: Remaining Games & Statistical NotesPittsburgh Penguins Schedule: Remaining Games & Statistical NotesThe Pittsburgh Penguins are winding down their 2024-25 season and on pace to miss the Stanley Cup playoffs for the third consecutive season, a first in Sidney Crosby's 20-year career. However, there is plenty to play for in the final weeks of the regular season. 

Despite the rough season, with numerous demotions to the AHL, Jarry is just in year two of a five-year deal he signed on July 1, 2023. In 288 games, his record is 149-96-30 with a 2.75 GAA and .910 SV%. 

When he collects win No. 150, he'll be the third goalie behind Barrasso (226) and Fleury (375) to reach the milestone. 

'Lucky To Be In The Lineup': Islanders' Roy Slams Duclair Amid Career-Low Production

New York Islanders coach Patrick Roy didn’t mince his words when he discussed Anthony Duclair’s game in their 4-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday.

“He was god awful,” Roy told reporters after the game. “He’s lucky to be in the lineup. Sorry if I lose it on him right now, but that’s how I feel.”

Duclair had 12:15 of ice time against Tampa Bay, about three minutes less than his season average. He had the third-lowest ice time among Islanders skaters in that contest.

Roy thought the 29-year-old had a bad game, and “that’s why I didn’t play him a lot.”

“He’s not skating, not competing, not moving his feet, he’s not playing up to what we expect from him,” he said, adding he thinks it’s an “effort thing.”

Less ice time has been the theme of Duclair’s last three games. In their outing against the Lightning on Saturday, he played 11:05, a season low. 

However, the Isles took on the Carolina Hurricanes the next day, and he played even less, clocking 10:10 in a 6-4 loss.

Duclair’s recent ice time comes during some of the lowest offensive production of his 11-year NHL career. 

In 44 games this season, Duclair has seven goals and four assists for 11 points. His 0.25 points per game is a career low, as is his minus-15 plus/minus rating. 

In comparison, Duclair put up 24 goals and 42 points in 73 appearances last season playing for Tampa Bay and the San Jose Sharks. That earned him a four-year deal worth $3.5 million per season with the Islanders, the longest contract with the biggest cap hit of his career.

What Direction Should The New York Islanders Take?What Direction Should The New York Islanders Take?Despite flirting with a Stanley Cup playoff spot, the New York Islanders look more like pretenders right now. 

The Point-Claire, Que., native hasn’t had a point in his last six games. He also hasn’t recorded an even-strength point in 17 games and has just three points in his last 25.

With eight games remaining in the regular season, the Islanders are five points back of the Montreal Canadiens, who control the last wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference.

The Buffalo Sabres have announced that forward Isak Rosen has been loaned to their American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Rochester Americans. 

Rosen, 22, was just recalled by the Sabres on March 25. Now, one week later, the 2021 first-round pick is heading right back to Rochester.

Rosen has appeared in six games this season with the Sabres, where he has one assist, three hits, and a minus-2 rating. He recorded his first career NHL point during his latest three-game call-up on March 27 against the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Rosen will now look to build on his strong season with Rochester after being demoted to Rochester again. The forward prospect has shown good promise this season with Rochester, setting new AHL career highs with 27 goals and 54 points in 55 games. 

In 188 games over three seasons with the Amerks, Rosen has 61 goals, 80 assists, 141 points, and a plus-9 rating.
