Story summary

Tristan Jarry, the goaltender for the Edmonton Oilers, aims to bounce back from a challenging season as he prepares for the upcoming NHL campaign starting on September 29. Despite being traded to Edmonton mid-season, Jarry struggled due to injuries and poor team performance. The Oilers currently have seven goaltenders in training camp but are expected to rely heavily on Jarry when the regular season begins. Backup goaltender Devon Levi was recently acquired from the Buffalo Sabres, though he has limited NHL experience with just 39 games played over four seasons. Frederik Andersen, who was signed as a free agent after leading the Carolina Hurricanes to a Stanley Cup title, is recovering from a knee injury and won't be available until late October. Oilers general manager Stan Bowman noted that Jarry's performance last season was hindered by both his injuries and subpar team support.
