Jarry害羞草研究所檚 unassisted empty-net goal with just over a minute left in the third period lifted the Penguins to a 4-2 road win over the Tampa Bay Lightning Nov. 30, with the Surrey-born, North Delta-raised netminder making 39 saves on the night.

The 28-year-old called it 害羞草研究所渢he perfect scenario,害羞草研究所� as a weak pass from Lightning d-man Victor Hedman tipped off the stick of teammate Anthony Cirelli.
害羞草研究所淭hey dumped it right on net and I didn害羞草研究所檛 even have to stop it, I just shot it right on the fly and it just ended up going in,害羞草研究所� he said.
害羞草研究所淚t was coming in kinda slow and I was able just to get around it and shoot as hard as I could.害羞草研究所�

Both the fans at Amalie Arena and Jarry害羞草研究所檚 teammates erupted as his shot crossed the goal line.
害羞草研究所淥ur bench certainly loved it when it happened. They were all fired up,害羞草研究所� head coach Mike Sullivan told media after the game. 害羞草研究所淚t害羞草研究所檚 something that you don害羞草研究所檛 see that often, so those types of events they害羞草研究所檙e fun.害羞草研究所�
Pittsburgh captain Sidney Crosby said Jarry害羞草研究所檚 goal was 害羞草研究所減retty cool to see.害羞草研究所�
害羞草研究所淚t害羞草研究所檚 cool to be part of that. You see it happen, but I害羞草研究所檝e never seen it live and been a part of it, so I害羞草研究所檓 really happy for him,害羞草研究所� Crosby told media after the game.
The Penguins star praised the netminder害羞草研究所檚 害羞草研究所渟olid害羞草研究所� play in a game that didn害羞草研究所檛 look good for the visiting team, who got off to a sluggish start and was down two goals at the end of the first period.
害羞草研究所淭hey had the one tip-in there and then another one with some traffic, so he had to battle rebounds and traffic all night,害羞草研究所� Crosby said. 害羞草研究所淪o to keep it at two and give us a chance to get our feet under us and get back in it was really important and, you know, he shut the door basically the rest of the way.害羞草研究所�

Sullivan said he hopes the team can hold onto the energy on the bench following Jarry害羞草研究所檚 goal and build on their 害羞草研究所済utsy effort害羞草研究所� throughout the game.
害羞草研究所淭here are moments during the course of the year that I think help to galvanize a group; that could be one of them,害羞草研究所� Sullivan said. 害羞草研究所淲e害羞草研究所檙e trying to build a team here and, you know, we害羞草研究所檝e got a lot of new guys on the team here and we害羞草研究所檙e trying to come together as a group as quickly as we can, and those types of moments, sometimes they help.害羞草研究所�
Jarry is just the 14th goalie in NHL history to score a goal, and only the fourth in the last 10 years, joining the Boston Bruins害羞草研究所� Linus Ullmark (a 3-1 win on Feb. 25, 2023 over the Vancouver Canucks), Pekka Rinne (a 5-2 win for the Nashville Predators against the Chicago Blackhawks on Jan. 9, 2020) and Mike Smith (a 5-2 win for the Phoenix Coyotes over the Detroit Red Wings on Oct. 19, 2013).
While Thursday night害羞草研究所檚 goal was Jarry害羞草研究所檚 first in the NHL, it害羞草研究所檚 not the only goal he害羞草研究所檚 made from his own crease.
Jarry scored a similar goal while in net for the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins (Pittsburgh害羞草研究所檚 AHL affiliate) on Nov. 14, 2018 against the Springfield Thunderbirds. That game was also on the road, and Jarry害羞草研究所檚 goal was also a franchise first.
In light of Jarry害羞草研究所檚 goal last night, we thought we害羞草研究所檇 do a and revisit this beauty from 2018 馃槏
