Jarry solid again as Penguins beat Jets to end perfect trip
WINNIPEG, Manitoba (AP) — Danton Heinen scored the go-ahead goal early in the third period, Tristan Jarry allowed one goal after back-to-back shutouts, and the Pittsburgh Penguins beat the Winnipeg Jets 3-1. Dominic Toninato scored on Jarry in the first period, but that was it. Jarry finished with 30 saves after posting shutouts in the first two games of Pittsburgh’s three-game Canadian trip, at Montreal and Toronto. Jason Zucker and Jake Guentzel also scored for the Penguins, whose perfect road swing followed a three-game skid. Connor Hellebuyck had 33 saves for Winnipeg, which lost its third straight and fell to 7-2-1 at home.

Penguins Looking For Sweep Of Canadian Road Trip

The Pittsburgh Penguins are slowly gelling, and are on the verge of taking care of business in Canada.

Pittsburgh (7-6-4) has won consecutive games for the first time in the 2021-22 campaign, with goaltender Tristan Jarry posting back-to-back shutouts against Montreal on Thursday and Toronto this past Saturday. Jake Guentzel has scored in 4 consecutive games for the Penguins heading into Monday’s game.

Winnipeg (9-4-4), meanwhile, has lost their last two on the road to Edmonton and Vancouver, following a 5-2 homestand at the Canada Life Centre. The Jets’ seven home wins are tied for second-best in the Western Conference, trailing only the Oilers (eight).

Puck drop from Winnipeg is set for 8:30 pm, and pregame on Beaver County Radio is at 8:00 pm.

OLSH is Heading to Heinz!!

Our Lady of the Sacred Heart Chargers defeated the Rochester Rams tonight 14-13, and move on to the WPIAL Championship. The game started out hectic on the opening drive for the Chargers the punter mishandled the punt, got it off was a bad punt. The officials said the Rams return actually blocked the punt and the Chargers recovered the punt in Rochester territory. The Chargers eventually scored on a 5 yard touchdown run taking an early 7-0 lead in the first. The second quarter started out with Rams scoring on a 1yd run making it 7-7 in the second quarter. Right before halftime the Chargers took the lead scoring on a 23yd pass to take a 14-7 lead into the half. The quarter scoring kicked off with 57yd touchdown drive, but missed the extra point to tie the game. The Rams after had chances to take the lead but turned the ball over in Charger territory. The most devastating was the interception late in the fourth quarter that sealed the deal. The Chargers will play Bishop Canevin next weekend for the WPIAL 1A Championship.

Steelers’ Rudolph Preps as Starter, Roethlisberger Waits

Steelers’ Rudolph preps as starter, Roethlisberger waits
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph is preparing as if he will start against the Los Angeles Chargers. Starter Ben Roethlisberger remains on the COVID-19 list after testing positive last week, but could play if he is cleared in time for kickoff. Offensive coordinator Matt Canada says he is in contact with Roethlisberger regularly and that Roethlisberger has been in attendance for virtual meetings with the offensive staff. Rudolph says he is hopeful he gets another opportunity, but will work hard to make sure Roethlisberger has what he needs if he returns to action.

No. 20 Pitt Can Wrap Up ACC Coastal With Win Over Virginia

No. 20 Pitt can wrap up Coastal with win over Virginia
By The Associated Press undefined
No. 20 Pittsburgh can clinch its second ACC Coastal Division title in four years with a victory over Virginia. The game will be the last appearance at Heinz Field for Pitt star QB Kenny Pickett. Pickett needs 163 yards passing to break Rod Rutherford’s school record for yards passing in a single season. The Cavaliers are hopeful quarterback Brennan Armstrong can play. Armstrong did not play during last week’s loss to Notre Dame due to an injury. Pitt has won four of the last five meetings with the Cavaliers, but Virginia’s lone win during that stretch came during a visit to Pittsburgh in 2019.
