Pens/Jets Recap: Dormant offense dooms Pittsburgh in Winnipeg

The Penguins search for more offense sees a shifting of the middle-six wingers. On defense, John Ludvig is back for his first NHL game since December 31st. Tristan Jarry back in the net.

First period

Pittsburgh gave up an odd-man rush against on the first shift and unfortunately for them it would be a sign of things to come.

It felt like the Pens were going uphill from the beginning, but it still took Winnipeg 10 minutes to score. Jake Guentzel pulled up in the offensive zone and made a cross-ice pass that Nikolaj Ehlers picked off and raced away on a 2-on-1.
