#NHLJets trail 1-0 through 40 minutes in Pittsburgh.
They’ve hit 3 posts, and had countless other chances thwarted by Sergei Murashov (21 saves).
Clay Stevenson (21 saves) has been terrific, too.

@mikemcintyrewpg.bsky.socialFor the first time this season, the #NHLJets don’t open the scoring.
A play initially ruled no goal due to a high stick is properly overturned on video review. Ben Kindel’s stick was below the crossbar.
1-0 Pittsburgh midway through the second period.
@icdave.bsky.socialMaybe the question should be why was Ben Kindel left alone in front to deflect that puck?
Penguins take a 1-0 lead over the Jets approaching midpoint of the middle frame.
@gametimeart.bsky.socialStevenson has been really good so far tonight! #NHLJets
@gametimeart.bsky.socialThe #NHLJets right now after hitting the post for a third time...
@icdave.bsky.socialDon’t know how many folks were thinking this Jets and Pens game would be a goalie duel but both Stevenson and Murashov have been very good.
@mikemcintyrewpg.bsky.socialKyle Connor rips a shot off the crossbar and then Mark Scheifele is denied from in tight early in the second period.
Tons of chances so far for the #NHLJets but no goals to show for it.
@icdave.bsky.socialThat was a fun opening period in Pittsburgh as the Jets and Penguins are tied 0-0 after 20.
Home team got off to a fast start with an 8-2 shot edge but visitors finished strong with a 10-3 run.
Lots to like from Period 1.
@gametimeart.bsky.socialOk I am done work.. #NHLJets can start scoring now.
@mikemcintyrewpg.bsky.social#NHLJets really coming on now, as Vlad Namestnikov is robbed, then quickly gets another good chance.
@mikemcintyrewpg.bsky.socialColleague @wiebesworld.bsky.social is in Pittsburgh and had a terrific 1-on-1 chat today with Sidney Crosby about a number of topics -- including #NHLJets forwards Viggo Bjorck and Morgan Barron.

@mikemcintyrewpg.bsky.social#NHLJets have been a bit slow out of the gate tonight in Pittsburgh, but Clay Stevenson has been sharp so far.
Meanwhile, Winnipeg just missed opening the scoring after a great Isak Rosen feed to Gabe Vilardi.
@mterlinski.bsky.social@sportsnetpr.bsky.social can go fuck off, the #NHLJets game isn't on the "regular" (already overpriced) cable package, it's only on the super special extra premium tier.. Y'arrr!! I will PROUDLY pirate this one. #Greedy ( On Hockey dot TV for anyone wondering)
@icdave.bsky.socialI’m only calling Cole Koepke, Brooks from now on.
@jetsfanjeff.bsky.socialPirating time #NHLJets
@mistermulligan.bsky.socialEff Rogers for sticking the #nhljets game on Sportsnet+ tonight. I’m not shelling out $250 to watch eight Jets games. Meanwhile, they are more than happy to show the Maple Losers across all 6 of the channels I have at the same time.

@paulr31.bsky.socialDoes the start from the Moose help Chevy lean more towards a Helle trade of higher picks? Maybe look for help that's 2+ years away? Feels like depth and immediate help for the #NHLJets might not be far off.
@paulr31.bsky.socialI love the effort and the attitude so far... #NHLJets seem to want to show the league (and Helle) that last year was the outlier.
@mikemcintyrewpg.bsky.socialStuart Skinner has a .908 save percentage through 2 games with the #NHLJets.
Tiny sample size, for sure. But a solid start.
Last season for Winnipeg:
Connor Hellebuyck: .895 SV%
Eric Comrie: .890 SV%
