PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Penguins are putting their faith and their money in goalie Tristan Jarry.

The Penguins awarded the first-time All-Star a three-year contract on Saturday. The deal, which carries an average annual value of $3.5 million, likely means Pittsburgh is ready to move on from two-time Stanley Cup-winning netminder Matt Murray.

“It’s awesome that they have trust in me, they’ve had that trust in me since Day One,” Jarry said. “To be able to stay in Pittsburgh for three more years, it’s a dream come true.”

The 25-year-old Jarry went 20-12-1 with a 2.43 goals against average and a .921 save percentage last season, earning a surprise All-Star berth following a stellar first half in which he helped keep the injury-ravaged Penguins in contention. During one stretch he set a franchise record by posting a shutout streak of 177:15.

“I just wanted to be able to make an impact whenever I stepped on the ice,” Jarry said. “(Being an All-Star) was a big stepping stone for me this year.”

Jarry ceded the starting role to Murray in the first three games of the playoffs, appearing only in Game 4 of Pittsburgh’s qualifying round loss to Montreal.
