Jarry makes 30 saves in Penguins win against Jets

WINNIPEG -- Tristan Jarry made 30 saves for the Pittsburgh Penguins in a 3-1 win against the Winnipeg Jets at Canada Life Centre on Monday.

"[Jarry is] playing with great confidence, and that's huge for us," Penguins forward Jason Zucker said. "We knew that over the summer he was going to take himself very seriously, and the training seriously, and come back and want to have a statement year. And this trip, I think, was huge for him."
Jarry, who blanked the Montreal Canadiens and Toronto Maple Leafs in the first two games of the road trip, had his shutout streak ended at 161:31, the longest in the NHL this season and the fifth longest in Penguins history.
"I think his timely saves are just huge," Penguins forward Danton Heinen said. "The breakaway in the third there, we need a big save, he's been so solid. It's awesome to see and I'm super happy for him and happy we have him back there."
Jake Guentzel scored for the fifth straight game for the Penguins (8-6-4), who outscored their opponents 11-1 on the three-game road trip.
"I think we started playing some better hockey and got some time to hang out together and kind of get closer as a team," Heinen said. "I think we can build on this (road trip), for sure."
Dominic Toninato scored, and Connor Hellebuyck made 33 saves for the Jets (9-5-4), who are 0-2-1 in their past three games.
"We didn't really get too many good looks," Winnipeg forward Kyle Connor said. "We had 30-some-odd shots. It was pretty perimeter, I think. I had a breakaway, lost the puck. Other than that, I didn't think we challenged [Jarry] too hard. Made his night pretty easy, to be honest."
Toninato gave Winnipeg a 1-0 lead at 10:27 of the first period, shooting glove side after Neal Pionk's shot was blocked in the slot by Evan Rodrigues.
"There was good energy at the start of the game and lots of jump," Jets coach Paul Maurice said. "I thought it flattened out after it went to 1-1, but we were slow in the third. We got the lead and got above it. We did not help ourselves with what we did with the puck, and then we didn't have it very much."
Zucker tied it 1-1 at 14:29 of the second period with a wrist shot from low in the left circle.

Heinen gave Pittsburgh a 2-1 lead at 3:33 of the third period, chipping in a rebound after Hellebuyck couldn't control Chad Ruhwedel's initial shot.
"On the rush there, [Dominik Simon] made a good space play and a good puck to the net," Heinen said. "I just got lucky it bounced out and I put it in."
Guentzel shot into an empty net at 17:45 of the third for the 3-1 final.
"Give them credit, they came out hard on their toes, and they're a talented team," Penguins coach Mike Sullivan said. "But I thought we did a pretty good job just grabbing hold of ourselves and just try to turn the momentum a little bit, just simplifying the game. We needed to be more determined, and I thought the players responded really well. We competed hard in the last 40 minutes, and the third I thought was our best."
NOTES:Jarry owns the longest shutout streak in Penguins history at 177:15 (set in 2019-20). … Pittsburgh's stretch of 161:31 without allowing a goal was the fourth-longest in its history, behind runs of 218:48 (2012-13), 205:28 (2013-14), and 187:30 (1992-93).
