The Pittsburgh Penguins’ fast start is over. The Winnipeg Jets scored three times in the third period Monday night to beat Pittsburgh 3-2.
The Penguins led one to nothing after two periods on a Ben Kindel goal. Then Alex Iafallo, Adam Lowry and Cole Perfetti scored for Winnipeg in a span of four minutes and nineteen seconds. Declan Carlile tied it two-two in between, but Perfetti answered just nine seconds later. Clay Stevenson made twenty-nine saves in his Jets debut. Sergei Murashov stopped thirty for Pittsburgh. The loss is the Penguins’ first of the season. They’re two and one after scoring thirteen goals in their first two games.
Pittsburgh hits the road Wednesday night at Washington. Puck drop is seven-thirty Eastern, the Capitals’ home opener at Capital One Arena.
