Comrie Makes 28 Saves, Lambert Scores 1st NHL Goal as Jets Top Penguins

At Canada Life Centre, Brad Lambert scored his first NHL goal in Winnipeg's 5-2 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Saturday.
The early goal set the tone, and Winnipeg's top line continued its streak as Gabriel Vilardi scored 15 seconds after puck drop, marking the quickest Jets season start.
Kyle Connor finished with two goals, including an empty-netter and a penalty shot at 12:13 of the second period, while Vladislav Namestnikov deflected a pass at 1:17 for his sixth goal.
Winnipeg's record now stands at 9-3-0, and the Jets will visit the Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday; Pittsburgh Penguins fell to 8-3-2 and will visit the Toronto Maple Leafs on Monday.
Special teams played a key role as Pittsburgh killed all three penalties, stifling a Jets power play that had converted 28 per cent coming into the game, despite 29 saves by Arturs Silovs.
