It has been a reliable start to the new campaign for the Winnipeg Jets. They have won seven of their opening ten games, and they are also the best defensive team in the Central Division.
Their confidence should also be high after a strong showing against the Minnesota Wild earlier this week, after recording a victory following overtime. Kyle Connor and Gabriel Vilardi both scored goals in the win.
The Pittsburgh Penguins will take plenty of positives from their start to the season.
They have won seven of their opening eleven, and they currently sit second in the Metropolitan Division. Meanwhile, they are the highest scorers in the division after netting 40 so far this term.
However, they will be aiming to get back on track this weekend following a defeat earlier this week against the Philadelphia Flyers.
