In many ways, the Calgary Flames’ contest on Friday night against the Winnipeg Jets felt like a rerun. The Flames weren’t awful and played effective structural hockey. But they couldn’t translate zone time into dangerous scoring chances, while the Jets were able to. The Flames lost 3-2 to Winnipeg to extend their losing skid to four games.
The rundown
The Flames and Jets had a fairly even first period. The Flames had a power play and had zero shots. The Jets had a power play and scored off the initial face-off on a deflection off Blake Wheeler to make it 1-0 Jets.
