WINNIPEG — Kyle Connor extended his goal streak to four games and also had an assist for the Winnipeg Jets in a 4-1 win against the Buffalo Sabres at Canada Life Centre on Friday.

A poor pass by Vlad Namestnikov leads to a Dylan DeMelo penalty and the Jets get burnt on the subsequent power play which put them down 1-0 early. And seconds later poor structure gives the Sabres an odd man rush which put Winnipeg down 2-0 just 15 seconds after taking the lead. That’s not an ideal start by the visitors.

The Sabres have scored just three goals in losing the first two games on their six-game road trip. Their NHL-worst road record has dropped to 2-8-2.

WINNIPEG, Manitoba – Friday’s game at Canada Life Centre was a story of quantity versus quality, in terms of offensive chances. The Buffalo Sabres got the former but surrendered the latter, outshooting the Winnipeg Jets 35-23 in a 4-1 loss.

The Buffalo Sabres continue to fail spectacularly on the road, dropping yet another stinker in the form of a 4-1 loss to the Winnipeg Jets.

Pregame The Penguins get Harrison Brunicke back in the lineup, Matt Dumba goes out. Also out for the game is Justin Brazeau (undisclosed upper body injury, day-to-day), which gets Philip Tomasino back in the action.
