Laine excited to face Penguins' star lineup

Some superstars of the NHL hit town this week as the Winnipeg Jets play two home games before heading to the New York area in early December for three games in four nights.

On Tuesday, the Pittsburgh Penguins pay their only visit of the regular season to Bell MTS Place. Game time is 7 p.m.

As always, the Penguins (9-8-5) are sparked by all-world centres Evgeni Malkin (nine goals, 21 assists) and Sidney Crosby (9G, 15A), while winger Phil Kessel (10G, 17A) is also off to a decent start.

Winnipeg then battles the Central Division-rival Chicago Blackhawks — led by Patrick Kane (13G, 14A) and Winnipeg product Jonathan Toews (11G, 9A) — Thursday night.
