PITTSBURGH (AP) — Sidney Crosby isn’t concerned about making history. He’d also prefer not to have the Pittsburgh Penguins repeat it.

Sure, Crosby is enjoying Pittsburgh’s 14-game winning streak. Yet he also knows his team’s perfect run through March won’t mean a thing if the Penguins don’t come through in May and June.

The Penguins moved within three games of the NHL record for consecutive victories by easing by the Winnipeg Jets on Thursday. Pittsburgh can draw within two of the mark set by the Mario Lemieux-led Penguins in 1992-93 on Saturday against the New York Islanders.

It’s heady territory. Yet Crosby insists it won’t mean much if it this ride doesn’t end with a Stanley Cup. The Penguins’ quest for a threepeat 20 years ago ended with a loss to the Islanders in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Pascal Dupuis scored twice for Pittsburgh and Evgeni Malkin celebrated his return to the lineup with his first goal in more than three weeks. Chris Kunitz added a goal and an assist as the Penguins capped a giddy 24 hours by dominating the Southeast Division leaders.

And to think newly acquired Jarome Iginla is still in Canada working through immigration issues. The Penguins acquired the six-time All-Star forward late Wednesday night, an audacious move that thrust them from Stanley Cup contender to favorite.

Pittsburgh hardly played like the pressure — of what is now the third-longest winning streak in NHL history — is a burden.

Tomas Vokoun stopped 20 shots and even recorded an assist as the Penguins posted consecutive shutouts for only the second time in franchise history. Vokoun also became the 26th goaltender in NHL history to record 50 career shutouts.

Al Montoya, making a rare start, made 39 saves for Winnipeg but the Jets were no match for the NHL’s hottest team.
