The upstart Winnipeg Jets closed the first half of their season with a flurry of offense, resulting in one of their best stretches in years. Following the All-Star break, the Jets can match their longest winning streak in four seasons Tuesday night when they face off with the banged-up Pittsburgh Penguins. Viewers in the Jets region can catch all of the action LIVE on TSN3 at 6pm ct, while listeners can tune in at 5pm ct on TSN 1290. Winnipeg (26-14-8) rattled off five straight wins, beating Columbus 4-0 on Wednesday to claim just its fourth win streak of five or more games since 2009. The Jets have averaged 4.20 goals over the streak and have an NHL-high seven players with at least 10 goals. All-Star Dustin Byfuglien has nine points in the last seven games, a 6-0-1 stretch, and is on pace for his second consecutive 20-goal season. Weve definitely turned a corner up there, Byfuglien said. Our game has come a long way. Our locker room is better. Weve handled things a lot better. ... Its definitely changed. Its a good thing, and its fun to be a part of. Perhaps even more impressive than the scoring surge has been the play of rookie Michael Hutchinson, who has been stellar since taking the starting job from Ondrej Pavelec and ranks second in the NHL with a 1.90 goals-against average. A victory Tuesday would mark the franchises longest winning streak since Nov. 19-30, 2010, when the Atlanta Thrashers won six straight. That was a well-timed break for us, coach Paul Maurice said. I think theres an excitement here, I feel, to get back on this big push. Theres no more breaks and the hockey changes gears now. Its the hardest plate of the regular season. Mathieu Perreault will return for Winnipeg tonight after missing the last two games with an upper-body injury. Perreault, who scored four times in an 8-2 win over Florida on Jan. 13, is three goals shy of matching his career high. Pittsburgh (26-12-8) looks to avoid a season-worst five-game losing streak as it deals with a host of injuries. The Penguins figure to be without Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin after both missed the All-Star game with lower-body injuries. The Penguins, however, could see the return of Kris Letang after he missed a 3-2 shootout loss to Chicago on Wednesday. Letang, who skated with the team and passed concussion tests Monday, had seven points in four games before suffering the injury in a 3-2 overtime loss at Philadelphia last Tuesday. With concussions you have to go through the protocol, coach Mike Johnston said. Each step along the way is checked. Hes moving along in the process. ... Well see what our doctors think for tomorrow. Should Letang also miss Tuesdays game, the Penguins would be without their top three scorers. Crosby and Malkin have 51 points apiece, while Letang has 32. Marc-Andre Fleury figures to start Tuesday, looking to snap a three-game losing streak. He is 22-9-5 with a career-best 2.31 GAA. The Penguins have dominated the Jets in recent years, winning each of the last five matchups and 20 of the last 23. They downed Winnipeg 4-3 in a shootout Nov. 6 behind a 34-save effort from Fleury and shootout goals from Crosby and Malkin.

Zemgus Girgensons and Chris Stewart also scored in regulation for the Sabres, who defeated Montreal 2-1 on Friday. Enroth turned aside 41 shots and stopped five more in the shootout. Jhonas Enroth was great tonight. He made some timely stops, Flynn said. If he saves five in a row, you need to win the game.

After Marcus Foligno blocked a shot in the defensive zone, Stewart gathered the puck, raced through the neutral zone, split a pair of defenders and finished off the sequence with a wrister over the shoulder of Tokarski for a 2-1 game 5:57 into the final stanza. Less than two minutes later, Brandon Prust worked the puck behind the net and Eller emerged with it, sending a backhander off the skate of Buffalo defenseman Nikita Zadorov into the net for a tied game. Pacioretty tapped in the rebound of Dale Weises shot from the right side of the net to give Montreal a 3-2 lead with 6:45 left in the third. The lead was shoort-lived, however, as Flynn backhanded Torrey Mitchells feed from behind the cage into the back of the net 49 seconds later.dddddddddddd Enroth made four saves and Tokarski stopped three pucks in the extra session. Girgensons opened the scoring for Buffalo with 5:57 to play in the opening stanza. Nicolas Deslauriers sent a pass to Tyler Ennis, who tipped the puck in on net.

Enroth made two big saves to keep Buffalos lead intact early in the second. He dove across the crease to stop Andrei Markovs shot with his blocker and then a few minutes later, he denied David Desharnais off a 2-on-1. Gallaghers shot clanged off the crossbar and hit the knob of Enroths stick at the goal line before ricocheting out of the crease. The play was reviewed and determined to be a good goal at 7:51 of the second. On the ice, I just thought I had hit the post and next thing you know, theyre reviewing it, said Gallagher. The video replays showed it was in and Ill take it. Game Notes Gallaghers goal was the first even-strength goal allowed by Enroth in a span of 296 minutes, 26 seconds, dating back to Nov. 13 when Minnesotas Kyle Brodziak scored at 9:21 of the first period in the Wilds 6-3 win ...
