A pass from Jake Guentzel was intercepted by Nikolaj Ehlers in the defensive zone and skated in on a 2-on-1, passing the puck to Scheifele for a one-timer from the left circle. Making it a two-goal lead for the Jets, Nino Niederreiter scored his 13th goal of the season. Niederreiter scored a backhanded shot near the right post after a one-timer by Nate Schmidt caromed back off the end boards.

At 5:52 of the middle frame, Bryan Rust struck his 13th goal of the season. Rust deflected Erik Karlsson's point shot and the puck went over Connor Hellebuyck's shoulder.

The Winnipeg Jets' one-goal lead remained secured throughout the third period... The Jets got the two points with a 2-1 final.

Tristan Jarry on the Penguins' 2-1 loss against the Winnipeg Jets: "They come out hard in this building, so it's something that I think we should have been prepared for. I think we just got caught on our heels a little bit. They were really taking the game to us and I think we just kind of got pushed back a little bit, and we were playing catch up from there - I think we just have to stick with it. The guys did a great job putting pucks at the net. Obviously, their goalie played really well tonight. So, I think when that's happening, we have to keep generating chances, we have to keep going to the net and keep putting pucks on the net, go to the net hard. I think that's how we're going to get rewarded."

Jarry on his game the last couple of days: "It's good. All I want to do is help the team. That's my goal every game is to try and put my best game forward because, at the end of the day, all I want to do is win."
