Post-Gazette Penguins insider King Jemison takes a look at the team’s trade of Tristan Jarry and how Kyle Dubas’ return keeps looking better and better after their 4-1 win over the New Jersey Devils on Thursday night. This show is presented by FanDuel.
First, what does Sidney Crosby’s injury mean moving forward? Can Evgeni Malkin and the rest of the team continue to put in solid performances like Thursday’s? How was Dubas able to turn Jarry’s “untradable” contract into Stuart Skinner, Sam Girard and multiple draft assets?
How good was Arturs Silovs against the Devils on Thursday? Can he stay dialed in? Is he the starting goaltender, or is Skinner? Does it matter? How important will the penalty kill led by guys like Blake Lizotte and Noel Acciari be for the rest of the season? King tackles those topics and more, plus tips his cap to some individual brilliance from Egor Chinakhov.

Great win. Hopefully they can win at least most of the games left..Stinks that Crosby was injured, I hope he recovers quick but doesn't come back till there is not a risk of easy reinjury
I feel sorry for Jarry and really hope he turns it around in Edmonton.
As for Skinner, I heard that he may be unloaded. Now, if Dubas can trade Skinner you know we'll be receiving a 2nd and something else. That would turn the Jarry trade into Jarry and Poulin for 3-2nds, Girard, and…… thats insane…
Pairing Girard and Letang doesn't seem to be the best fit. Letang is a turnover machine, and you need a stay-at-home partner to help clean up his mistakes.
Artys game against Germany really did a number for him.
