Winnipeg begins regular season at home against Toronto on Wednesday
CALGARY – With a seemingly never-ending pre-season on the final stretch, the Winnipeg Jets provided an exciting close in the finale, losing to the Calgary Flames 3-2 in a shootout at Scotiabank Saddledome on Saturday night.
While Kyle Connor, Patrik Laine and Nic Petan were all unable to solve Flames netminder Mike Smith, Calgary needed just two shooters to finish it off, with Sean Monahan beating Jets goalie Steve Mason with a tricky fake to the forehand after Matthew Tkachuk was turned aside in the first round.
