Damn. Took one on the chin

I might add goaltenders but three star is kind of useless in NHL. It's rarely accurate for actual performance.

Some of the saves this guy is able to make. Good goalies are elite in NHL 25. Elite goalies are almost unbeatable

After a string of disapponting performances from between the pipes, the team has recalled goalie Joel Blomqvist from the AHL

Penguins recall G Joel Blomqvist from Wilkes-Barre, shuffle lines ahead of matchup with Oilers

EDMONTON, AB -- -After a catastrophic effort by the Pittsburgh Penguins against the Calgary Flames last night that saw both goaltenders, Tristan Jarry and Alex Nedeljkovic, chased from the crease, the team has opted to make some changes. First, they have recalled goaltending prospect Joel Blomqvist from their American Hockey League affiliate, the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins. They have also notably recalled defenseman Owen Pickering to get some time with the main club. Going the other way are defenseman Vladislav Kolyachanok and Ryan Shea.

Defensive lapses and goaltending woes have been the running themes for the Penguins through the young season, and the team has opted to make changes earlier than it typically does. Rather than counting on the talent of the roster correcting itself, it has instead opted to send players down and shake up the dressing room.

"We don't want guys - especially those on two-way contracts or guys who can make it through waivers - to get too comfortable and complacent that we will let them just hang around," said head coach Mike Sullivan during the morning press. "If what we're hearing from Wilkes-Barre is to be believed, the young guns are hungry for opportunities. We needed a new look, and we think Joel and Owen are ready for a shot."

Blomqvist, the 22-year-old native of Nykarleby, Finland, was the 52nd pick of the Penguins in the 2020 NHL Draft and has shared time between Wilkes-Barre and his Finnish club, Oulun Karpat, in the Finnish elite leagues. He sprang onto the scene last year with a standout effort in the AHL, winning 25 games and sporting a .907 save percentage on his way to a berth on the 2nd All-Star team for the year. He is widely thought to be the goaltender of the future for the Penguins.

Pickering, 21 years old, was selected 21st overall in the 2022 NHL Draft by the Penguins and is in the midst of his first pro season after playing eight games two years ago with the Baby Penguins. He spent last season in his overage year in the Western Hockey League with the Swift Current Broncos, scoring seven goals and 46 points, leading to a nod towards the Central Division First All-Star team, his second consecutive year on the team. Pickering, standing a 6-foot-5, provides much-needed size and offensive capabilities on the left side of the Penguins' defense.

Shea and Kolyachanok have both been healthy scratches so far in Pittsburgh and will receive much-needed conditioning and ice time in the minor leagues. Coach Sullivan is optimistic that both will be back sooner rather than later.

"There's no such thing as too much depth on the back-end; they're both capable players. We just needed a new look, and that's the way the roster shook out."

The team is in Edmonton, facing off against the defending Stanley Cup Finalist Edmonton Oilers and superstar Connor McDavid. They will be providing new lines, and goaltender Tristan Jarry is expected to get the start in goal.
