The Calgary Flames opened their 2020 post-season with an impressive showing on Saturday night. They beat the Winnipeg Jets 4-1 to take a 1-0 lead in their Qualifying Round series.
Here’s what was discussed in the media chats post-game.
A tale of two injuries
The Jets lost Mark Scheifele in the first period and Patrik Laine in the third period, both with apparent injuries. Both will see specialists on Sunday to evaluate how much time they’ll miss. Jets head coach Paul Maurice didn’t seem too steamed about the Laine injury – he confirmed it wasn’t from a Mark Giordano slash, which suggests it was from a different contact on that shift (perhaps a check from Sam Bennett along the boards) – but Maurice was livid about the Scheifele injury.
