WINNIPEG -- The Winnipeg Jets know what they'll be facing when the Pittsburgh Penguins visit on Friday.

Captain Andrew Ladd says they have to play a fast game against the Penguins and not give them a lot of time to make plays or leave gaps in the defence.

Mistakes aren't allowed when facing top players such as Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin.

Coach Claude Noel doesn't want a repeat of the drubbing his Jets took last season, twice giving up eight goals to the Penguins.

Pittsburgh is coming off a 5-2 loss to Toronto on Wednesday.
