Jets' Neal Pionk: Picks up two assists
Neal Pionk dished out two assists and logged nearly 25 minutes of ice time in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime win over Minnesota.Pionk snapped a three-game scoring drought with a first-period assist Tuesday in Minnesota. It's been a sluggish start to the season, as he's managed just two assists through 10 games. While he's not known as a premier offensive blueliner, Pionk has surpassed the 30-point mark in six straight regular seasons, suggesting his production should rebound soon. Given his steady minutes and role quarterbacking Winnipeg's second power-play unit, he has a good chance of building on this performance in Thursday's home matchup against Chicago.
