Tristan Jarry made NHL history Thursday night, becoming the first goalie in Pittsburgh Penguins history to ever score a goal.
Jarry含羞草研究社檚 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.
含羞草研究社淚t含羞草研究社檚 pretty neat, honestly,含羞草研究社� Jarry told media after the game. 含羞草研究社淚t含羞草研究社檚 something that doesn含羞草研究社檛 happen very often. There含羞草研究社檚 very few who have done it, so it含羞草研究社檚 something [that含羞草研究社檚] definitely pretty cool. But honestly, the win means more.含羞草研究社�
The 28-year-old called it 含羞草研究社渢he perfect scenario,含羞草研究社� as a weak pass from Lightning d-man Victor Hedman tipped off the stick of teammate Anthony Cirelli.
含羞草研究社淭hey dumped it right on net and I didn含羞草研究社檛 even have to stop it, I just shot it right on the fly and it just ended up going in,含羞草研究社� he said.
含羞草研究社淚t was coming in kinda slow and I was able just to get around it and shoot as hard as I could.含羞草研究社�
含羞草研究社淚t was pretty lucky.含羞草研究社�
For the first time in Pittsburgh Penguins history, we have a GOALIE GOAL!

Both the fans at Amalie Arena and Jarry含羞草研究社檚 teammates erupted as his shot crossed the goal line.
含羞草研究社淥ur bench certainly loved it when it happened. They were all fired up,含羞草研究社� head coach Mike Sullivan told media after the game. 含羞草研究社淚t含羞草研究社檚 something that you don含羞草研究社檛 see that often, so those types of events they含羞草研究社檙e fun.含羞草研究社�
Pittsburgh captain Sidney Crosby said Jarry含羞草研究社檚 goal was 含羞草研究社減retty cool to see.含羞草研究社�
含羞草研究社淚t含羞草研究社檚 cool to be part of that. You see it happen, but I含羞草研究社檝e never seen it live and been a part of it, so I含羞草研究社檓 really happy for him,含羞草研究社� Crosby told media after the game.
The Penguins star praised the netminder含羞草研究社檚 含羞草研究社渟olid含羞草研究社� play in a game that didn含羞草研究社檛 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.
含羞草研究社淭hey had the one tip-in there and then another one with some traffic, so he had to battle rebounds and traffic all night,含羞草研究社� Crosby said. 含羞草研究社淪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.含羞草研究社�

Sullivan said he hopes the team can hold onto the energy on the bench following Jarry含羞草研究社檚 goal and build on their 含羞草研究社済utsy effort含羞草研究社� throughout the game.
含羞草研究社淭here are moments during the course of the year that I think help to galvanize a group; that could be one of them,含羞草研究社� Sullivan said. 含羞草研究社淲e含羞草研究社檙e trying to build a team here and, you know, we含羞草研究社檝e got a lot of new guys on the team here and we含羞草研究社檙e trying to come together as a group as quickly as we can, and those types of moments, sometimes they help.含羞草研究社�
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含羞草研究社� 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含羞草研究社檚 goal was Jarry含羞草研究社檚 first in the NHL, it含羞草研究社檚 not the only goal he含羞草研究社檚 made from his own crease.
Jarry scored a similar goal while in net for the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins (Pittsburgh含羞草研究社檚 AHL affiliate) on Nov. 14, 2018 against the Springfield Thunderbirds. That game was also on the road, and Jarry含羞草研究社檚 goal was also a franchise first.
In light of Jarry含羞草研究社檚 goal last night, we thought we含羞草研究社檇 do a and revisit this beauty from 2018 馃槏
