<\/p>\nLambert struck at 2:43 when he was parked to Silovs\u2019 right and fellow freshman Parker Ford carried the puck behind the Penguins net and attempted a wrap around. The puck squirted through the crease for Lambert to convert.<\/p>\n
\t<\/p>\n
The Jets burst out of the gate in the second period too. Namestnikov and Jonathan Toews rushed into the Penguins\u2019 zone and, after Toews hesitated with the puck for a split second, the Russian winger deflected a pass behind Silovs at 1:17 for Namestnikov\u2019s sixth of the season.<\/p>\n
Connor scored on a penalty shot at 12:13 of the second. Silovs misplayed the puck in the Penguins\u2019 corner during a Pittsburgh power play and threw his stick when Connor lunged for the puck in front of an empty net.<\/p>\n
Connor\u2019s backhand beat Silovs to the glove side for what was technically a short-handed goal for his seventh of the season. <\/p>\n
Crosby scored Pittsburgh\u2019s first goal of the game with just 12 seconds remaining in the second, when the captain deflected Erik Karlsson\u2019s point shot behind Comrie.<\/p>\n
The Penguins pulled within two goals just after the halfway point of the third. Lizotte crashed Comrie\u2019s crease for his second goal of the season.<\/p>\n
Takeaways: <\/p>\n
Jets: Winnipeg\u2019s top line of Mark Scheifele, Kyle Connor and Gabriel Vilardi continued their torrid streak to start the season. Vilardi netted his fifth goal of the season, Connor scored his seventh and eighth goals while Scheifele recorded his 10th and 11th assists.<\/p>\n
Penguins: The two Manitobans on Pittsburgh\u2019s roster \u2014 Owen Pickering and Connor Dewar \u2014 were on the ice for Winnipeg\u2019s first three goals.<\/p>\n
Key moment<\/p>\n
The Jets set the tone in a hockey heavyweight battle when Vilardi put the home side in front just 15 seconds into the game, and after facing off against the Crosby line. It\u2019s the quickest the Jets have scored to start a game this season.<\/p>\n
Key stat<\/p>\n
The Penguins kept one of the NHL\u2019s top power plays off the scoresheet in killing all three of their penalties. Coming into the contest, the Jets had scored 27.8 per cent of the time with the man advantage.<\/p>\n
