Tristan Jarry hasn't been great to start games this season, there's no denying that. In his 12 starts, he's stopped as many as the first five shots only twice. He's allowed a goal on the first shot faced five times, with Thursday night at the Bell Centre being one of those times, with Nick Suzuki finishing a two-on-one at 2:12 of the first period.
While early goals like that one have led to Jarry spiraling in the past, he didn't in this one, stopping 21 of 22 shots the rest of the way.
Jarry said his mindset after the early goal was to "just keep going," adding, "I don't think there's much more you can do. They got a lucky break, just in transition, they were able to get behind our guys, it obviously happens. I think we were just on the wrong side of the puck there, but we just have to keep going. And I think when that first one goes in, you have to obviously battle a little harder. And the guys, I thought, had a great response, and we were able to get one back pretty quick."
