Penguins vs. Jets Preview: Not rivals, but still heated

For being a random, Western conference matchup, when the Winnipeg Jets meet the Pittsburgh Penguins, it’s always a game worth watching. Last year the Pens won the 2 games (combined score: 11-7), indicative of the two teams willing to play wide-open hockey and trade offensive chances and rushes. Not really sure WHY Winnipeg is willing and eager to run and gun with a team as talented as the Pens, but hey, good on ‘em for the entertaining hockey.

Pens/Jets has also had some extracurriculars with heavy hits (some legal, some illegal) and tempers going off the rails.
