First Period


The opening period saw both teams struggling to find their rhythm, resulting in a scoreless draw. The Jets managed to take 28 shots on goal but were unable to capitalize on any opportunities. Meanwhile, Connor Hellebuyck stood firm in goal for Winnipeg, making crucial saves and keeping Calgary's offense at bay.


Second Period


As play resumed, it was the Flames who broke the deadlock first. They scored once during this period, taking advantage of their powerplay strength. However, Hellebuyck's performance between the pipes remained solid as he saved numerous attempts from Calgary's forwards.

Third Period


The final period witnessed a remarkable comeback by Winnipeg as they netted two goals to secure victory. Mark Scheifele and Jonathan Toews each found themselves on target for the Jets during this decisive stretch of play—Scheifele scoring his goal even-strength while Toews capitalized on one of five powerplay opportunities presented throughout regulation time.


Connor Hellebuyck emerged as an essential figure once again; his total saves reached an impressive count of 32 out of 33 shots faced—a testament not only reflecting individual skill but also contributing significantly towards securing another win under pressure circumstances such as these against formidable opponents like those represented by "Flaming C."
