Goaltenders Stuart Skinner and Tristan Jarry will start against their former clubs when the Pittsburgh Penguins host the Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday, marking the first matchup since last week's blockbuster goaltender swap that also involved defenseman Brett Kulak and forward Sam Poulin.
The Edmonton Oilers have traded goaltender Stuart Skinner, defenseman Brett Kulak and a 2029 second-round pick to the Pittsburgh Penguins for goaltender Tristan Jarry and forward Samuel Poulin. In a separate deal, Edmonton acquired defenseman Spencer Stastney from the Nashville Predators for a 2027 third-round pick. Oilers GM Stan Bowman cited the need for a change in net as the motivation behind the blockbuster move.
