WINNIPEG, Manitoba (AP) Dustin Byfuglien broke a tie with 1:28 remaining in the Winnipeg Jets' 3-1 victory over the Calgary Flames on Friday night.

Byfuglien forced a turnover, took a pass and went around Flames defenseman Dennis Wideman and beat Karri Ramo with a sharp-angle, low shot.

Calgary coach Bob Hartley challenged the goal to see if Byfuglien was offside, but the goal stood.

Blake Wheeler added an empty-net goal at 19:07, the 150th of his career, and leads the Jets with seven points.
