PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Penguins weren’t happy with their lackluster play in the first period after a three-day holiday break.Then Womens Patric Hornqvist Jersey , Phil Kessel and the power play changed everything.Kessel scored two power-play goals, Derick Brassard added two goals and the Penguins defeated the Detroit Red Wings 5-2 on Thursday.“Just the plays he made tonight is elite,” Brassard said of Kessel. “It’s up there with the tops in the league. He’s going to win you some games like that.”Kessel scored twice in the second period and raised his season total to 16 goals. He moved into 20th place all-time with his 97th career power-play goal by an American, passing Chris Drury. Brassard now has six goals, and Patric Hornqvist scored his 13th of the season as Pittsburgh won its fourth straight game, matching a season best.“We scored some big goals, starting with Phil to get us going,” Brassard said. “Our transition was really fast in the second. As soon as we play with pace and move our legs, I feel like some teams struggle against us.”Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin each finished with two assists. Crosby has registered points in nine of his last 11 home games and has 24 points in his last 18 games. Matt Murray stopped 27 shots for his fourth straight win since returning from a lower-body injury.Pittsburgh was once last in the Eastern Conference during a run of one win in 10 games. Now, the Penguins have won nine of 13 games in December, including six of seven and 12 of 19 overall.“I just think coming off the break like the way we did, we played against a team that’s young, enthusiastic and they can skate,” Penguins’ coach Mike Sullivan said. “I thought they had more urgency to their game in the first period than we did. We had to get back to playing the game the right way, and I thought our power play was a big difference-maker.”Dylan Larkin extended his career-long, 12-game point streak with his 16th goal of the season for Detroit. Andreas Athanasiou returned from a two-game absence because of an upper-body injury and scored his 12th of the season. Jimmy Howard made 35 saves for the Red Wings, who have lost three straight and seven of eight games overall.Athanasiou’s breakaway goal cut the Penguins’ lead to 3-2 at 4:45 of the third period. But Hornqvist restored Pittsburgh’s two-goal lead 1:10 later when he redirected Jack Johnson’s shot from the point past Howard.Howard said Athanasiou’s goal initially gave Detroit life before Pittsburgh responded.“It was a great read by him Phil Kessel Jersey ,” Howard said. “He just put the afterburners on and made a great play, but it wasn’t very much later where (Pittsburgh) got it back, so it’s tough.”Larkin continued his point streak by opening the scoring at 11:49 with a wrist shot over Murray’s shoulder. He has six goals and 15 points in his last 12 games. Larkin’s 12-game point streak is the longest since Henrik Zetterberg’s 17-game run in 2007-08.“After the first, we let (Pittsburgh) come in,” Larkin said. “We stopped forechecking and we stopped our O-zone grind that was so good in the first period. We needed two points desperately here.”Pittsburgh jumped ahead in the second period with two goals scored in 74-second span. Kessel tied the game with a power-play goal at 7:12 and Brassard put the Penguins in front.Red Wings defenseman Jonathan Ericsson fell, allowing Kessel to swoop in and slip a backhander between Howard’s pads. Brassard gave Pittsburgh the lead when he redirected a pass from Kessel past Howard.Kessel scored his second power-play goal with 1:02 to play in the second period. His wrist shot from between the circles beat Howard on the glove side and gave Pittsburgh a 3-1 lead.“It’s incredible the talent he has,” Brassard said. “Tonight, he came up big for our team.”NOTES: The Penguins, on Thursday, re-signed 24-year-old F Jake Guentzel to a five-year contract extension worth $30 million.

WINNIPEG, Manitoba (AP) The Minnesota Wild lost the puck and the lead – and eventually Game 1.Patrick Laine tied it at 4:51 of the third period off the turnover, defenseman Joe Morrow scored with 6:13 left and the Winnipeg Jets beat the Wild 3-2 on Wednesday night for the first playoff victory in franchise history.”It’s nice to have won one now because that was kind of what people talked about before – this team has never won a playoff game, they’ve only been there twice,” said Bryan Little, who joined the team in 2007-08. ”It’s nice to get that off our backs and, hopefully Sidney Crosby Jersey , we get a lot more.”In the franchise’s only other playoff appearances since joining the NHL in 1999 in Atlanta, the club was swept in 2007 by the New York Rangers and 2015 by Anaheim.”We had an opportunity with the lead in the third period and our goaltender playing good, we thought we had a chance to win,” Minnesota coach Bruce Boudreau said. ”You can’t give No. 29 (Laine) a chance right down the slot to score on a turnover. You’re looking for disaster there.”It was a bad turnover. When you turn the pucks over in the middle of the ice. He deked our player, we didn’t hold the middle, and he got to come right down Main Street.”Nikolaj Ehlers set up Morrow at the point for a one-timer that beat goalie Devan Dubnyk.”I’ve had a major roller-coaster of an NHL career so far,” the 25-year-old Morrow said. ”To have a little, I don’t even know if you want to call it a Cinderella story of a night tonight, it makes you feel good. It makes all of the bad times and all of the times you’ve battled so hard to try and get an opportunity, it makes them go away. It washes them away and you get to enjoy it in front of a crowd like this and a city like this.”Morrow was acquired at the trade deadline from Montreal in exchange for a fourth-round draft pick.”Awesome to see a guy step in, new to the team a little bit, and have a huge effect,” Jets captain Blake Wheeler said. ”He’s fit in seamlessly with our group. For a guy like him it’s tough, because he’s never really had an established role. Somebody who’s kind of on the outskirts, or in and out a bit.”Mark Schiefele added a power-play goal, and Connor Hellebuyck made 18 saves for the Jets.Matt Cullen and Zach Parise scored for Minnesota, and Dubnyk stopped 37 shots.Game 2 is Friday night in Winnipeg.Laine tied it at 2 at 4:51 of the third period Dougie Hamilton Jersey Womens , putting a high wrist shot past Dubnyk on the glove side.Winnipeg outshot Minnesota 13-4 in the scoreless first period. Dubnyk had to make a couple of big saves in the last three minutes, including a pair from close in by Dustin Byfuglien and Andrew Copp.The Jets had the game’s first power play 24 seconds into the middle period after Minnesota’s Eric Staal was called for tripping.Dubnyk made a save on a blast from Scheifele, while two of Laine’s trademark blasts from the right circle went wide of the net and the other was blocked by Nate Prosser’s arm.Byfuglien was sent to the box six minutes later for roughing and Minnesota put a few shots at Hellebuyck, but it was the Jets who capitalized on their second chance with the man advantage.Twenty seconds after Prosser was called for holding, Blake Wheeler sent a pass to an open Scheifele in the slot for his one-time at 17:37.The Wild outshot the Jets 12-8 in the second.Cullen took a backhand pass from Jordan Wheeler and beat Hellebuyck on the blocker side at 1:46 of third period to tie it.Parise quickly put the visitors ahead at 3:58 on a 2-on-1 with Mikael Granlund after a Winnipeg turnover.”We were able to give ourselves a chance a grab a lead there and even when it’s tied we were still in good shape,” Parise said. ”I don’t think (we took our foot off the gas). …. They were aggressive all over the ice. I think when we didn’t get it behind them. That’s when we let them keep coming back at us.”Laine’s tying goal came 53 seconds later after Jets center Paul Stastny absorbed a hit to give Laine some time and space.Connor Hellebuyck made 18 saves for the Jets, who finished second overall in the NHL and Central Division with 114 points (52-20-10).Matt Cullen and Zach Parise scored for Minnesota. Dubnyk stopped 37 shots for the Wild, who were third in the division with 101 points (45-26-11).Cullen and Parise scored a little over two minutes apart to give the Wild a 2-1 lead at 3:58 of the third, but Laine tied it at 4:51.”I think we view this as a missed opportunity,” Cullen said. ”I don’t think we played as well as we can. I think we showed pieces of our game, but I don’t think we played to our level.”Minnesota is competing in its sixth straight post-season. Last year, the Wild lost their first-round series to St. Louis in five games.Fans are primed for these playoffs. The ”whiteout” crowd of more than 15,000 were chanting ”Go Jets Go” and waving white towels before the puck even dropped. Next door to Bell MTS Place, a block was closed for a street party, highlighted by the game shown on two giant screens for fans in the NHL’s smallest market.Jets forward Mathieu Perreault left in the second period with an upper-body injury and head coach Paul Maurice had no update.
