Flames 4, Jets 3 (SO): Johnny Hockey did the hockey

You love to see it.

What, exactly, is “it”?

How about… electric pace. Elusive skating. Elite stickhandling. Exciting goals.

All of these articles apply to Johnny Gaudreau’s show-stopping performance for the Flames on Monday night.

Put simply, Gaudreau was the “it”-factor for Calgary en route to a 4-3 shootout win over the Winnipeg Jets. He kept the opposition guessing all night with his vintage deceptiveness. After Gaudreau’s rough 2019-20 campaign, his play to begin this shortened season should come as a massive relief for the Flames and their followers.

Gaudreau is tied for fifth in the NHL with six goals in just eight games this season.
