Winnipeg Jets' David Gustafsson, right, tires to get past Calgary Flames' Travis Hamonic during second period NHL pre-season hockey action in Calgary, Tuesday.

The Calgary Flames lineup bore a striking resemblance to one that will likely begin the 2019-20 season next week, while the Winnipeg Jets iced a squad with an abundance of hopefuls.

The result Tuesday night at the Scotiabank Saddledome was predictable – although by no means a blowout.

Calgary got goals 33 seconds apart from forwards Sean Monahan and Sam Bennett in the second period en route to a 2-0 triumph over the Jets.
