Sidney Crosby failed to score in Penguins 4-1 loss to Winnipeg Jets

Sidney Crosby struggled in the Pittsburgh Penguins' 4-1 loss to the Winnipeg Jets on Friday. Crosby didn’t have any shots on goal in 18:36 minutes of ice time. He finished with a -2 rating and received 7 penalty minutes.

Winnipeg coach Scott Arniel praised his team for their effort against the Penguins.

“You knew that Pittsburgh was going to come out and they were going to get after us,” Arniel said (via NHL.com). “I thought we did a great job. That’s a great start, puts them back on their heels. Some negative thoughts, whatever it might be.”

The game began with Nino Niederreiter scoring just 1:22 into the first period. He took advantage of a turnover by Evgeni Malkin and slid the puck past goalie Tristan Jarry to make it 1-0. In the second period, Vladislav Namestnikov made it 2-0 after collecting a rebound and scoring from the slot.

Gabriel Vilardi extended the Jets’ lead to 3-0 with a power-play goal at 19:01. He fired a one-timer from the slot after a pass from Kyle Connor. Michael Bunting scored a power-play goal for the Penguins in the third period, cutting the lead to 3-1. With 1:11 left, Connor sealed the win for Winnipeg by scoring into an empty net.

The Jets' defense, along with goalie Connor Hellebuyck’s 17 saves, kept Pittsburgh from mounting a comeback.
