But the advance was short-lived.

Nikolaj Ehlers responded a minute and a half later during a Winnipeg power play, then Kyle Connor gave the Jets the lead 2:23 from the break on a shorthanded run.

The momentum shifted in favor of the home team in the middle period.

Calgary outshot Winnipeg 12-4 in the period, failing to tie the game a few times, including a golden opportunity from Anthony Mantha with about seven minutes remaining. The forward was sent on goal alone after a saucer pass from Kadri, but the puck rolled off the end of his stick as he tried to stretch it around Comrie’s right pad.

But patience paid off with 2:32 left in the period, and once again the Flames used their trigonometry skills to their advantage.

From the right corner, Andersson sent a puck toward the goal, and lo and behold, it slammed off Comrie’s mask and into the back of the net, prompting another eye-rolling celebration toward an unsuspecting Jets fan in the front row.
