Tristan Jarry made NHL history Thursday night, becoming the first goalie in Pittsburgh Penguins history to ever score a goal.
Jarrysa国际传媒檚 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.
sa国际传媒淚tsa国际传媒檚 pretty neat, honestly,sa国际传媒� Jarry told media after the game. sa国际传媒淚tsa国际传媒檚 something that doesnsa国际传媒檛 happen very often. Theresa国际传媒檚 very few who have done it, so itsa国际传媒檚 something [thatsa国际传媒檚] definitely pretty cool. But honestly, the win means more.sa国际传媒�
The 28-year-old called it sa国际传媒渢he perfect scenario,sa国际传媒� as a weak pass from Lightning d-man Victor Hedman tipped off the stick of teammate Anthony Cirelli.
sa国际传媒淭hey dumped it right on net and I didnsa国际传媒檛 even have to stop it, I just shot it right on the fly and it just ended up going in,sa国际传媒� he said.
sa国际传媒淚t was coming in kinda slow and I was able just to get around it and shoot as hard as I could.sa国际传媒�
sa国际传媒淚t was pretty lucky.sa国际传媒�
For the first time in Pittsburgh Penguins history, we have a GOALIE GOAL!

Both the fans at Amalie Arena and Jarrysa国际传媒檚 teammates erupted as his shot crossed the goal line.
sa国际传媒淥ur bench certainly loved it when it happened. They were all fired up,sa国际传媒� head coach Mike Sullivan told media after the game. sa国际传媒淚tsa国际传媒檚 something that you donsa国际传媒檛 see that often, so those types of events theysa国际传媒檙e fun.sa国际传媒�
Pittsburgh captain Sidney Crosby said Jarrysa国际传媒檚 goal was sa国际传媒減retty cool to see.sa国际传媒�
sa国际传媒淚tsa国际传媒檚 cool to be part of that. You see it happen, but Isa国际传媒檝e never seen it live and been a part of it, so Isa国际传媒檓 really happy for him,sa国际传媒� Crosby told media after the game.
The Penguins star praised the netmindersa国际传媒檚 sa国际传媒渟olidsa国际传媒� play in a game that didnsa国际传媒檛 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.
sa国际传媒淭hey had the one tip-in there and then another one with some traffic, so he had to battle rebounds and traffic all night,sa国际传媒� Crosby said. sa国际传媒淪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.sa国际传媒�

Sullivan said he hopes the team can hold onto the energy on the bench following Jarrysa国际传媒檚 goal and build on their sa国际传媒済utsy effortsa国际传媒� throughout the game.
sa国际传媒淭here are moments during the course of the year that I think help to galvanize a group; that could be one of them,sa国际传媒� Sullivan said. sa国际传媒淲esa国际传媒檙e trying to build a team here and, you know, wesa国际传媒檝e got a lot of new guys on the team here and wesa国际传媒檙e trying to come together as a group as quickly as we can, and those types of moments, sometimes they help.sa国际传媒�
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 Bruinssa国际传媒� 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 nightsa国际传媒檚 goal was Jarrysa国际传媒檚 first in the NHL, itsa国际传媒檚 not the only goal hesa国际传媒檚 made from his own crease.
Jarry scored a similar goal while in net for the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins (Pittsburghsa国际传媒檚 AHL affiliate) on Nov. 14, 2018 against the Springfield Thunderbirds. That game was also on the road, and Jarrysa国际传媒檚 goal was also a franchise first.
In light of Jarrysa国际传媒檚 goal last night, we thought wesa国际传媒檇 do a and revisit this beauty from 2018 馃槏
