Tonight is the 1st game of the road Back-2-Back with the Jets …and then tomorrow night, the Black Hawks. The Jets are on a 2 game win streak and are 8-1-1 in their last 10 games. The Jets just doan suck and blow as they once did in years past.
The Pens will have their work cut out for them trying to get enough rubber behind the D of Morrissey (also their leading points getter) and Hellebuyck in gola, for a W. He’s 8-3-1 with a 2.07 GAA and .935 S%.
The Pens are coming off a somewhat sloppy win in Minnesota the other night and are going to have to play a lot better D in this one as the Jets have given up the fewest golas in the league this year so far.
