THE CANADIAN PRESS/Jeff McIntoshNikolaj Ehlers and Sami Niku stole the show Monday night in Calgary, each scoring a pair of goals to lead the Winnipeg Jets to a 5-4 pre-season overtime victory over the hometown Flames.
Ehlers scored on a two-on-one-rush just 31 seconds into the extra frame to give his team the win. His second period power play tally snapped a personal 19-game drought going back to last season that included a pair of regular-season games, 15 playoff contests and the first two pre-season games this fall.
Ehlers said earlier in the day he needed to get himself going by skating and shooting more, and he certainly did that in spades on this night.
