The Winnipeg Jets will have their perfect 4-0 record on the line when they host the 3-3-0 Pittsburgh Penguins today at Canada Life Centre. Much of the Jets’ early success can be credited to their goalie, Connor Hellebuyck, who is expected to be between the pipes for Winnipeg today. Hellebuyck has been the net minder for all 4 wins and has a GAA of only 1.25 with a .925 SV%. The Penguins are expected to have Tristan Jarry in the crease and the Jets’ heavy hitters should be able to find the back of the net. Jarry is 1-1 with a bloated 5.45 GAA and a .836 SV%, which is not good. Winnipeg is averaging 4.5 goals per game as opposed to Pittsburgh’s 3.5, and with Helly guarding the fort they are the side worth backing.
