Tristan Jarry was tested pretty heavily in the Penguins' 5-4 overtime win over the Panthers on Tuesday. The Penguins allowed 41 shots on goal, and 14 of them were high-danger -- the sixth-most high-danger shots the Penguins have allowed in a single game this season, and just the second-most Jarry has faced since facing 18 in the season opener against the Rangers.

It was just the second time all season in which Jarry has made at least five consecutive saves to open a game, with Florida's first goal not coming until the 12th shot.

The Penguins held a 4-1 lead in the third period despite the difference in shots, but a trio of Panthers goals 4:32 apart forced overtime. Bryan Rust's game-winner was the first shot on goal for either team in the extra frame, and made up for the earlier blown lead.

"I thought he played solid tonight," Mike Sullivan said of Jarry's night. "I thought he stood tall there all night long, he battled. He made some key saves at key times throughout the course of the game. I thought Jars was terrific tonight."

Jarry was huge for the Penguins for most of the game, including a couple of sequences in which he bailed out his teammates following potentially-costly turnovers. And he's not solely to blame for the third-period goals allowed -- the tying goal came off a rebound of a redirect, and the one before that came when Ryan Shea blocked the initial attempt and had the opportunity to clear the puck but wasn't able to.

The Panthers' total expected goals -- a stat that takes into account quantity and quality of chances -- was 3.75, and Jarry let in four. So, he handled the heavy workload roughly just as he should have. But he didn't do anything more.

Given Jarry's shaky history this year, he's still got to do more in the third period there to instill confidence that he can be the goaltender they need him to be. But this was a step in the right direction, especially given Jarry's history of early goals against this season.
