On Wednesday evening, the Winnipeg Jets came into Calgary needing a win over the Flames to punch their ticket to the post-season. The Flames needed a regulation win to maintain any flicker of playoff hope. The Jets were poised, structured and opportunistic and the Flames were, well, not, in a 4-0 Jets win at the Saddledome.
The rundown
The Jets scored four times, each coming as a direct result of some challenges and miscues from the Flames.
- They went up 1-0 in the first period after the Flames were caught up ice just over a minute into the game, leading to a three-on-one rust that saw Adam Lowry put a shot over a sliding Michael Stone and past Jacob Markstrom’s glove.
