When it comes to Penguins goaltending, there is a trinity of Tom Barrasso, Marc-Andre Fleury and Matt Murray at the top of the group of men who have tended the pipes for the franchise.
They’re the only three to win a Stanley Cup for the Penguins as the starting goaltender, and if there’s a franchise record listed in the media guide for the position, chances are one of them will be at the top of the list.
• Wins? Barrasso is the single-season leader at 43 (1992-93).
• Saves? Fleury has the career mark at 17,774.
• Playoff shutouts? Fleury (2008) and Murray (2017) each share the record for a single playoff with three.
Then there’s Tristan Jarry.
Jarry butted into the record book during Tuesday’s 4-1 loss to the Montreal Canadiens by establishing a franchise mark for longest shutout sequence at 177 minutes, 15 seconds.
The previous mark of 173:06 was established by Tomas Vokoun late in the 2012-13 season.
“It’s pretty cool,” said Jarry, who had not allowed a goal since Nov. 29. “It’s never something you really think of. It would have been nice to have the win to go along with it. But try again.”
Jarry’s sequence came to an end at 12:24 of the second period on a power-play goal by forward Tomas Tatar.
“It’s pretty unbelievable,” said defenseman Justin Schultz. “For a guy coming into the season battling for that spot behind (Murray), he’s been unbelievable for us. Kept us in a lot of games. It’s a pretty cool record to have.”
