The streak is dead. Long live the streak. The Calgary Flames attempted to shake off the bye week dust on Saturday afternoon at the Scotiabank Saddledome in a rare afternoon tilt with the Winnipeg Jets. Fans were treated to a game of fits and starts and, occasionally, some speed and skill from the Jets. But the Flames were the beneficiaries of some nice netminding and managed to get a point for their efforts in the a form of a 2-1 shootout loss.
The Rundown
It was a sloppy game all-around in the opening period, as two teams who hadn’t played in a week missed shots, passes and checks.
