The Winnipeg Jets will put their hot streak to the test tonight as they host a freshly-re-signed Marc-Andre Fleury and the Pittsburgh Penguins. Jordi Alba Jersey . Watch the game live on TSN3 starting at 7:30pm et/6:30pm pt. You can also listen to the game live on TSN Radio 1290 Winnipeg starting at 6pm ct. The Jets come in having allowed just six goals over a 5-0-1 burst. They recorded consecutive shutout wins against the New York Rangers and Chicago Blackhawks before besting the Nashville Predators 3-1 on Tuesday. Ondrej Pavelec made 23 saves and has stopped 88 of the 90 shots he has faced in his last three games. He extended Winnipegs franchise-record shutout streak to 164:44 before yielding a goal early in the second period. Wins change the pressure on the bench, and the confidence, said Winnipeg head coach Paul Maurice. Then as you get further and further into a rhythm of doing the same things over and over again in your own end you start to feel comfortable there. We made some mistakes and had some things go away from us at times, but success makes everything feel a little bit better, and a little more calm. Pavelec, though, is just 2-12-2 lifetime versus the Penguins with a 4.33 GAA and .867 save percentage. He was backed on Tuesday by power-play goals from Andrew Ladd and Mark Scheifele, while Blake Wheeler added an empty-net goal in Winnipegs third straight win. The Penguins announced a four-year, $23 million extension for Fleury on Wednesday, with the deal set to kick in next season. That locks up the clubs all-time leader in regular-season victories (295) and shutouts (31), though opens Rutherford up to criticism should Fleury continue his erratic postseason performances. Fleury, the first overall pick of the 2003 draft, helped lead Pittsburgh to a Stanley Cup title in 2009, but is just 52-40 in 93 playoff games and even saw himself benched during a first-round series with the New York Islanders in 2013. However, the goaltender has been a solid option during the regular season and has opened his 11th NHL campaign with a 7-2-0 record, 1.89 goals against average and .931 save percentage with three shutouts. I believe in Marc-Andre Fleury, as the team does, Rutherford said in a statement. Hes won before and he will win again. Were very pleased to have him signed long term. Fleurys three shutouts this season have come in his past four starts and he has stopped a total of 54 shots in back-to-back shutout wins over Los Angeles and Buffalo. He is 17-5-0 with a 2.37 GAA and .913 save percentage in his career versus the Jets franchise. Despite his recent run, Penguins coach Mike Johnston opted to start backup Thomas Greiss in Tuesdays contest with the Minnesota Wild. The move worked, with Greiss making 33 saves in a 4-1 win and extending Pittsburghs shutout streak to 205 minutes and 28 seconds before allowing a goal midway through the third period. We kept a lot of stuff to the outside. It made my life easier, Greiss said. I think our defense did a really good job clearing rebounds. Nick Spaling, Brandon Sutter, Chris Kunitz and Patric Hornqvist all scored for the Penguins, who with five straight wins are on their longest winning streak since taking seven straight from Dec. 9-21 of last year. They won the opener of a five-game swing on Tuesday. Kunitz picked up his fifth goal and eighth point in his past four games, while Evgeni Malkin logged an assist to give him a point in all 11 games this season. He has five goals and 11 helpers. Pittsburgh defenseman Olli Maatta did not play as he underwent successful surgery Tuesday to remove a tumor in his thyroid gland. He is expected to return to the lineup within the next four weeks. The Penguins have won each of their past four meetings with the Jets as well as 19 of the last 22 encounters overall. They have also claimed eight of the last 11 road meetings with the Winnipeg/Atlanta franchise.
