Jets Rally From 4–1 to Beat Flames in Shootout in Preseason Finale

Injuries to Dylan DeMelo and Cole Perfetti now cloud Winnipeg’s final roster decisions.

Overview

  • Winnipeg erased a three-goal deficit to win 5-4 in Calgary, with regulation goals from Haydn Fleury, Gustav Nyquist, Alex Iafallo and Parker Ford.
  • Tanner Pearson ended a seven-round shootout when Dustin Wolf mishandled a high rebound from Pearson’s attempt and dropped it into the net.
  • Head coach Scott Arniel said DeMelo left as a precaution after taking a stick to the neck, while Perfetti suffered a lower-body injury that at first glance does not look great.
  • Connor Hellebuyck stopped 25 of 29 shots and Wolf turned aside 31 of 35, as the Jets went 0-for-3 on the power play and killed all five Calgary opportunities.
  • Winnipeg finished the preseason 2-3-1 with cuts due by Monday before hosting Dallas on Thursday, while Calgary’s blown 4-1 lead and 0-for-5 power play underscored late-game and structural concerns.
