The Calgary Flames got off to a good start on Thursday against the Winnipeg Jets. Unfortunately, they couldn’t keep that momentum going. The Flames faded as the game wore on, allowed four unanswered goals, and lost by a 4-1 score to the Jets in the finale of a three game set at Bell MTS Place.
The rundown
The first period was fairly low event, with each team getting some offensive zone time in, but not really turning that into solid chances. The Flames changed that late in the period, as Mikael Backlund got into the offensive zone, created a turnover, and then waited patiently for backup.
