The Calgary Flames started off the Young Stars Classic with a big 4-1 victory over the opposing Winnipeg Jets. The Flames outshot the Jets 42-21 in what ended up being a very spirited affair. Potential goalie of the future Jon Gillies stopped 20 of 21 shots in the victory, while Andrew Mangiapane paced the Flames offensively with a goal and an assist.
First Period
While the word on the street earlier was that the Flames would bring a top line featuring Matthew Tkachuk, Mark Jankowski and Morgan Klimchuk, that did not come to fruition as the club announced that Klimchuk is day-to-day with a lower-body injury.
