Post-Game Wrap-Up: Flat Flames felled by Jets in Game 2
The Calgary Flames came into Game 2 of their Qualifying Round series with the Winnipeg Jets poised to take a stranglehold on the series, facing a team down several key regulars. Instead, the Flames came out flat and spent the entire game chasing en route to a 3-2 loss to Winnipeg.
The best-of-five series is now tied up at one win apiece.
The Rundown
The Jets came out of the gate with determination, missing Mark Scheifele, Mason Appleton and Patrik Laine from their Game 1 lineup due to injury. The result was easily their best period of the post-season, as they fore-checked well. The Flames responded with a sleepy period with some iffy puck management decisions.
