Pittsburgh Penguins goalie Tristan Jarry has been sent to the minors for a full reset, as the team wants him to regain confidence and improve his game. General manager Kyle Dubas noted Jarry's inconsistent performance and the emergence of prospect Joel Blomqvist. Blomqvist has impressed the organization, prompting the decision to give him an NHL opportunity. Jarry's $5.375 million salary cap hit and the presence of other rising prospects influenced the Penguins' choice to send him down. In other news, 21-year-old Ville Koivunen is performing well in the AHL, scoring 27 points in 33 games. Dubas highlighted Koivunen's competitiveness and skill, noting his development as a player in his first full season in North America.
