Flames, Jets meet again after wild contest

The Calgary Flames and Winnipeg Jets will be hard-pressed to top the drama they produced Monday when they face off again Tuesday in Manitoba.

The Jets jumped out to a two-goal lead, but the Flames rallied thanks in part to a fluky goal from the far blueline. After Calgary went on top 3-2, Winnipeg got a late game-tying goal to force overtime before the Flames prevailed in a shootout for a 4-3 victory.

The question is whether the Monday result means the glass is half-full or half-empty for Winnipeg.

"A point's a point," said Jets forward Kyle Connor, who scored two power-play goals in the first period Monday.
