The 16-3-0 Winnipeg Jets will take on the 7-10-4 Pittsburgh Penguins on Friday night from PPG Paints Arena in Pennsylvania.
The 6:00 PM central showdown will be the first stop of a six-game road trip for the Jets, which will quickly turn around and face the Nashville Predators on Saturday night.

From there, the team will hit up Minnesota, Los Angeles, Vegas and Dallas before returning home to face the Blues on December 3.
The Jets are coming off a streak-stopper on Tuesday night, to which Winnipeg kicked a two-game losing skid in the rear, doubling up Paul Maurice and the Florida Panthers 6-3 in the second test of an elongated home-and-home with the boys from South Florida.
Friday evening will see the Jets make their lone visit to Pittsburgh, where they will take on Sidney Crosby and the aging Penguins.
The lineup from Tuesday remains intact, with no changes coming to Winnipeg’s forward groupings, defence pairs or goaltender of record. Connor Hellebuyck will start his 16th game in hopes of a league-leading 14th win.
