The Penguins are four points behind the Washington Capitals for first place in the Metropolitan Division. Shoring up their goaltending could help them become the first team to win the Stanley Cup in three straight seasons since the New York Islanders won four consecutive championships from 1980-83.
Goalie Tristan Jarry was recalled from Wilkes Barre/Scranton of the American Hockey League on Sunday, but if the Penguins want to add some experience behind Matt Murray, it may not be easy.
Aaron Dell could be a potential trade target, but the San Jose Sharks need him, especially with Martin Jones coming off an injury. Veteran Cam Ward (Carolina Hurricanes) was once a strong consideration, but he's played more while Scott Darling continues to struggle. Ward started four straight games before Darling allowed four goals on 38 shots in a 4-1 loss to the Detroit Red Wings on Friday.
Petr Mrazek, who made 36 saves against the Hurricanes, is a possibility. Mrazek is 7-6-2 with a 2.75 goals-against average and .914 save percentage, including 4-1-1 with a 1.30 GAA and .958 save percentage in his past six starts. Buffalo Sabres goalie Robin Lehner (11-20-6, 2.80 GAA, .914 save percentage) could become a restricted free agent July 1.
