Note: The Jets made it two wins on consecutive days, rallying from a 1-0 deficit after 40 minutes to beat the Penguins. The third period turned into a wild one, with the two teams combining for four goals in just 4:19 as Winnipeg scored three of them to take control of the game. They ended the night as the first-place team in the Central. Time to plan the parade. They are off today.
