3. Tristan Jarry, G
How acquired: Selected with No. 44 pick in 2013 NHL Draft
Last season: Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (AHL): 33 GP, 17-13-3, 2.69 GAA, .905 SV%
If the Penguins have their way, Jarry, 21, won't be needed in their crease this season. Pittsburgh seems to be in good hands with Murray and Fleury, but Jarry (6-2, 194) is another talented young goalie coming through its pipeline.
Jarry received a very small taste of the playoffs last season, when he sat on the bench behind goalie Jeff Zatkoff, who started Game 1 of the Eastern Conference First Round against the New York Rangers.
"I think every year, I like to think that I'm growing," Jarry said, "both as a player and as a person."
Projected NHL arrival:Next season
4. Jake Guentzel, C
How acquired: Selected with No. 77 pick in 2013 NHL Draft
Last season: Wilkes-Barre/Scranton (AHL): 11 GP, 2-4-6; Nebraska-Omaha (NCAA): 35 GP, 19-27-46
Guentzel, 21, made a late splash with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton last season when he had two goals and four assists in 11 games on an amateur tryout contract, and five goals and nine assists in 10 Calder Cup Playoff games. Guentzel signed a three-year, entry-level contract on May 23.
Penguins player development coach Mark Recchi said he would project Guentzel (5-10, 167) as a top-nine forward with top-six potential.
"His hockey IQ is off the charts," Recchi said. "He competes like crazy and he plays everything. He plays center, he plays wing. He's very versatile."
Projected NHL arrival: 2018-19
