u276fu276f About the PENGUINS
Pittsburgh (7-3-1) is in a familiar place, sitting on top of the Metropolitan Division and looking every bit like a Stanley Cup contender once again. The two-time defending champs beat the Winnipeg Jets 2-1 in overtime on Thursday, as Phil Kessel took advantage of a Patrik Laine giveaway to score the winner on a breakaway. Pittsburgh won their previous home game against Edmonton on Tuesday night in eerily similar fashion, with Kessel netting the OT winner in a 2-1 victory.
The Penguins make a stop in Minnesota this evening, so the Jets will be getting them on back-to-back nights.
