   At 12:44 in the first period, Kris Letang puts the Penguins in the lead. Letang scored on a backhand from the slot, getting the puck past Connor Hellebuyck. The remainder of the period stays at the 1-0 score.


   After Penguins forward Noel Acciari was helped into the locker room after taking a hit from Jets defenseman Brenden Dillon - Jeff Carter gets Pittsburgh in a 2-0 lead. Carter grabbed up a loose puck off a shot by Erik Karlsson that was deflected by Lars Eller and shot the puck around Connor Hellebuyck's left pad.

Tristan Jarry on the Penguins' 3-0 win, his 19th career shutout, and the team's current position: "We all did the right thing and I think that gave us the upper hand tonight - Okay, obviously, but we're not in the position we want to be in... We want to be in a playoff position and that's going to be the goal at the end of the season - Every point that we can get helps us to that."
