The Calgary Flames were missing a few NHL regulars, but they looked very much like what we expect from their full-strength line-up on Friday night. The Flames capped off their exhibition schedule with a 3-1 victory over the visiting Winnipeg Jets.
The rundown
The Flames got out to a good start and were rewarded. Andrew Mangiapane was hauled down on the opening shift, drawing a penalty. On the ensuing power play, Mangiapane accepted a pass from Johnny Gaudreau and chipped the puck past Connor Hellebuyck to give the home side a 1-0 lead.
Later on in the period, the Flames’ power play struck again.
