ABOUT THE PENS

Were the victims of the relocated Winnipeg franchise’s first win last season, 2-1 on Oct. 17, 2011, but then won the final three games of that season against the Jets.

A goal and five points put Evgeni Malkin in Pittsburgh’s scoring lead through three games (2-1-0) this season.

The Penguins have five power-play goals already this season in three games, four of those power-play goals in two games on the road.

James Neal, briefly a member of the Manitoba Moose, has played seven career games against the Jets franchise and has seven goals. He had a hat trick in an 8-5 win last March 20 in Pittsburgh.

Here’s something the Jets can dream about — Pittsburgh has scored 70 road victories since the start of the 2010-11 season, tying for the most in the NHL in that period.
