Pittsburgh Penguins goaltender Tristan Jarry is among the netminders the Edmonton Oilers have significant interest in, reports ESPN's Kevin Weekes.

Jarry enjoyed a bounce-back start to the season before sustaining a lower-body injury on Nov. 3. He has a .911 save percentage and is 5-2-0 through seven starts this year. Jarry is set to return Wednesday.

The 30-year-old struggled last campaign and was waived by the Penguins in January. He finished last season with an .892 SV% in 36 appearances.

Jarry is under contract through 2027-28 at a $5.375-million cap hit. He owns a 12-team no-trade list.

Oilers goaltenders Stuart Skinner and Calvin Pickard have both struggled to start the year. Skinner's save percentage is down to .878, while Pickard is among the NHL's worst at .847. Skinner and Pickard combined to allow eight goals on 30 shots on Tuesday against the Dallas Stars.

Jarry, a native of Surrey, British Columbia, played his junior hockey in Edmonton for the Oil Kings. He won two WHL championships and backstopped the franchise to its first and only Memorial Cup title in 2014.
