The good news? The pre-season is over! The bad news? The Flames ended it with an uneven 3-2 loss to the visiting Winnipeg Jets at the Scotiabank Saddledome.
The Flames finish the pre-season with a 4-4-0 record, for whatever that's worth. (Spoiler: very little.)
THE RUNDOWN
Nobody scored in the opening period, but it was about as good as you'd hope to get for a pre-season performance for the Flames. They skated hard. They made hits (especially Brandon Bollig). They created turnovers. They just could not bury a bloody scoring chance. (They out-chanced the Jets by my count roughly 6-1.
