In the cold, blustery prairie outpost known as “the Peg,” our Penguins may have officially turned their season around last night with a crisp 3-0 triumph over the Jets. No easy feat, given that our foe entered the game on an 8-2 tear thanks to the Vezina-esque twine tending of Connor Hellebuyck and a talented core of forwards paced by Mark Scheifele. But we shut ‘em down. Or more to the point, shut ‘em out.
It isn’t so much that we won as how we won. Indeed, the game fairly brimmed with black-and-gold positives.
