Post-Game: Flames fade against Jets in opener

The Calgary Flames were on full display in their season-opener against the Winnipeg Jets, for better and for worse. After a superb first 20 minutes, the Flames never quite found that consistency or attention to detail for the rest of the game.

They lost their season-opener to the Jets in overtime by a 4-3 score.

The rundown

The Flames were excellent early. They skated well. They made good decisions with the puck. They fore-checked. And they were rewarded offensively.

After a Winnipeg icing, the Flames took advantage. Elias Lindholm won the puck back to the point.
