Gameday: Game 12 - Pens at Jets

MTS Centre

8:00 PM

TV: Root

Radio: 105.9 The X

Tonight, the Penguins travel North of the Border for the second time this season. Tonight we get to see what a real fanbase looks like as the Penguins visit beautiful Winnipeg. As we all know, Winnipeg is a cold city. The Jets are off to a decent start as well as winning 5 of their last 6 although they only average like 1.9 goals per game while the Penguins have won 5 straight and are averaging like 4.1 goals per game. The Jets are one of the stingiest defenses in the league even though they have a lot of no name defensemen. Our old friend Eric Tangradi no longer is in Winnipeg. We recommend grabbing some poutine as we all know that the Penguins like to play this franchise.
