Cole Perfetti Post-game The Winnipeg Jets look to extend their winning streak to five games and stay undefeated when they play host to the Pittsburgh Penguins Sunday afternoon. The Penguins offence, that ranks top ten in goals-per-game (3.50), will clash against a Jets defence that has allowed the fewest goals in the league (5) so far this season. Pittsburgh's bleeding defence has made an impact with the third-most goals allowed this season (25) through their first six games. It should be an opportunity for the Jets to continue their offensive hot streak as they rank first in power play percentage (50%) and second in goals-per-game average (4.50). Hockey legends Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin have helped the Penguins dominate in this matchup over the years with a 17-5-0 record in their last 22 games versus the Jets. Malkin has started off the season red hot with a pair of goals and nine assists for 12 points through his first six games of the season. Winnipeg's Mark Scheifele will look to counter-act Malkin with some offence of his own as the longtime Jet is out to one of the best starts of his career with four goals in as many games along with three assists for seven points.

Perfetti looks to stay hot versus the Penguins, who he has three points against in five career matchups. Pittsburgh is expected to start ice cold netminder Tristan Jarry, who sports a 5.45 goals against average through two starts so far this season but has a deadly record versus Winnipeg. The 29-year-old has a record of 5-1-0 with a goals against average of 1.16 and a save percentage of .960 in six career games against the Jets. The always reliable Connor Hellebuyck should get the crease for the Jets and will make for an exciting goaltender matchup. Catch the game on Sportsnet at 2:00 PM MT, or catch the live broadcast on Power 97, the FM home of the Winnipeg Jets. Tickets are reasonable for Jets versus Crosby and the Penguins with the lowest pair being sold at roughly C$81.
