At PPG Paints Arena, the Winnipeg Jets showcased a dominant performance against the home team, the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Jets' offense was firing on all cylinders as they managed to net four goals throughout the match. The scoring opened in the first period with one goal from the Jets and was quickly matched by one from the Penguins. However, as play progressed into subsequent periods, it was clear that this would be Winnipeg's night.

Winnipeg’s powerplay unit capitalized on one of its two opportunities thanks to eight shots taken during man-advantages. Their special teams also held strong defensively; not allowing any goals on both powerplay chances given up and successfully killing off penalties while shorthanded once.

Defensively speaking, Winnipeg was robust with thirty-three hits delivered and eleven blocked shots contributing to their plus-minus rating of ten for this game. Their faceoff win percentage stood at forty-five percent after winning twenty-seven out of fifty-nine draws.
