The Penguins scored twice in the second and another two more in the third period to down the Jets 4-1 at Consol Enrgy Center Saturday afternoon.
With the win, the Penguins improved to 31-21-8 on the season, while the Jets fall to 26-31-4 with the loss.
After a scoreless opening period, the Jets and Penguins combined for three goals in the second frame, with Pittsburgh holding a 2-1 edge after 40 minutes.
The Penguins opened the second period with two goals in the first 51 seconds to take a 2-0 lead. Kris Letang scored his 10th of the season with a one-timer blast to the top corner, followed by Carl Hagelin’s sixth of the season.
Winnipeg cut the lead in half with a power-play goal from Blake Wheeler, his 18th, midway through the period.
Goals from Scott Wilson and Hagelin would make it 4-1 by the mid-way mark of the third period, ending any real chance the Jets had at a comeback.
Michael Hutchinson went the distance, making 29 saves in the loss. Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 27 pucks in the win.
