Game Preview
The unbeaten Winnipeg Jets aim to keep their hot streak alive as they host the inconsistent Pittsburgh Penguins on Sunday afternoon.
The Jets have started the season with four consecutive wins, fueled by a potent offense and stellar goaltending from Connor Hellebuyck. Winnipeg’s latest victory, an 8-3 rout over the winless San Jose Sharks, saw Hellebuyck make 19 saves in his 500th NHL start, while Cole Perfetti, Neal Pionk, and Vladislav Namestnikov each recorded four-point performances. The Jets, currently on a 12-game regular-season winning streak dating back to last season, have also been lethal on the power play, going 7-for-14 this season.
Despite his dominant early-season form, Hellebuyck enjoyed a more relaxed game on Friday. He currently boasts a 1.25 goals-against average and a .952 save percentage through four games.
Meanwhile, the Penguins have had a rollercoaster start to their season, following up two high-scoring wins with a disappointing 4-1 home loss to the Carolina Hurricanes. Stars Evgeni Malkin and Sidney Crosby were kept quiet, with neither recording a shot on goal. Penguins goalie Joel Blomqvist made 35 saves, but the team struggled offensively, managing only 11 shots over the first two periods.
Forward Lars Eller emphasized the need for the Penguins to bring more energy, while Kris Letang admitted the team is still trying to establish its identity. Backup goalie Tristan Jarry, who has struggled with a 5.47 GAA and an .836 save percentage, will be crucial as Pittsburgh embarks on a four-game road trip through Canada, starting in Winnipeg. Goalie Alex Nedeljkovic, who has been sidelined with a lower-body injury since the preseason, rejoined the team after a conditioning loan and could also play a key role.
