-Still Haven’t Found What They’re Looking For: 1-15-2, that’s now the Flames record over their last 18 on opening night after their 4-3 OT loss to Winnipeg Thursday night. The Flames at least secured a point, but haven’t won on opening night since 2009.
-Add Him To The Pile: Jacob Markstrom, like Karri Ramo, Jonas Hiller, Brian Elliott and Mike Smith before him, lost his first start with the Flames, coinciding with another opening night loss.
-Not So Friendly Winnipeg: Seeing we’re on the negative trend here, the Flames haven’t been handling their business when traveling to see the Jets.
