THE SETUP
It's not quite the same as visiting Winnipeg, but I'm always happy to have Winnipeg stop by for a visit of its own. The Jets, in case anyone's missed it, are back as a Western force, though they were humbled by the Penguins Nov. 19 up in Manitoba. They played last night in Buffalo, N.Y., beating the Sabres, 4-2, on 38 saves by Connor Hellebuyck.
The Penguins will have an optional skate at 10:30 a.m. The Jets won't skate at all.
I'll be here, as will Danny Shirey.
