Tristan Jarry - Needs more help from teammatesJarry made 31 saves in a 4-3 shootout loss Saturday to the Flyers.
ImpactOwen Tippett scored late in the second on a breakaway with a backhander that threaded the needle between Jarry's blocker and pad. Scott Laughton then beat him in the third with a short-handed goal backhand after he stripped Evgeni Malkin of the puck in his own zone. Tyson Foerster snapped a puck past from the left face-off circle later in the third to push the Flyers ahead 3-2. Jarry is 2-3-2 in his last seven starts, and then Pens are 4-4-2 in their last 10. The Pens cannot get anything going on the power play, so Jarry gets no buffer. That will change soon, so he's a pretty solid fantasy play.

Jake Guentzel - Consistent excellenceGuentzel scored twice Saturday in a 4-3 shootout loss to Philadelphia.
ImpactGuentzel had given the Pens a 2-1 lead in the first two minutes of the third when a shot from Erik Karlsson went in off his skate at the left post. He then tied it 3-3 with just 21 seconds left in regulation when he picked up a loose puck and backhanded it past Samuel Ersson. Guentzel is on a five-game, six-point streak (three goals, three assists), and he's been held off the scoresheet just twice in his last 18 games (eight goals, 13 assists). None of those points have come on the power play, where the Pens have been horrendous (0-for-26 in the past 10 games).

Tyson Foerster - Three-game, five-point streakFoerster scored a goal and added an assist Saturday in a 4-3 shootout win over Pittsburgh.
ImpactFoerster scored on a snap shot from the left circle at 13:52 of the third to push the Flyers up 3-2. He's on a three-game, five-point streak that includes three goals, including two on the power play. Foerster is earning the confidence of coach John Tortorella, at least in the short term. That will increase his ice time and opportunity.
