Jarry has a 9-3-1 record this season with a .909 save percentage and a 2.66 goals-against average.
The 30-year-old Jarry’s resurgence this season has come after he cleared waivers last January after an 8-8-4 start to the season with a .886 save percentage and a 3.31 GAA. He would later rejoin the Penguins after an AHL stint and finished the season with a 16-12-6 record with a .893 save percentage and a 3.12 GAA.
He’s currently playing in the third season of a five-year, $26.88 million contract and carries a cap hit of $5.38 million.
The Oilers goaltending struggles are well documented this season, with Stuart Skinner and Calvin Pickard combining for an .879 save percentage through 31 games. The back-to-back Stanley Cup finalists are 14-11-6 this season and currently sit in the top wild-card spot in the Western Conference.
Skinner has an 11-8-4 record this season with a .891 save percentage and a 2.83 goals-against average.
The 27-year-old has helped backstop the Oilers to two consecutive trips to the Stanley Cup Final, but the team ultimately fell short against the Florida Panthers in each of the past two seasons.
Skinner is a pending unrestricted free agent, carrying a cap hit of $2.6 million on his expiring deal.
Kulak, 31, has two assists in 31 games this season. He is also a pending UFA, carrying a cap hit of $2.75 million this season.
Acquired from the Montreal Canadiens at the 2022 trade deadline, Kulak has been a key piece on the Oilers blueline in each of their runs to the Stanley Cup Final the past two years.
Oilers also adding Stastney
The Oilers have also completed an additional trade to acquire defenceman Spencer Stastney from the Nashville Predators for a 2027 third-round pick, LeBrun reports.
Stastney, 25, has one goal and nine points in 30 games for the Predators this season while averaging 14:52 of ice time.

He is in the second season of a two-year, $1.65 million contract with an AAV of $825,000.
The Woodridge, Ill., native has three goals and 18 points in 81 career NHL games with Nashville.
