Penguins 'create your own luck' to solve Hellebuyck, Jets

For the first two periods of the Penguins' game against the Jets Sunday at PPG Paints Arena, it seemed like Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck was going to be unbeatable.

Hellebuyck was making his second start in as many nights. And if he was feeling the effects of that workload, he didn't show it.

The Penguins were outshooting the Jets 23-16 through the first 40 minutes, but trailed the Jets 2-0. The shot differential may have been a bit misleading as to which team was controlling much of the play -- to that point, the Jets definitely had more quality chances than the Penguins had.
