The Winnipeg Jets had a great win to open their season against the Calgary Flames last night. Here are three talking points from last night’s Jets victory.
Oh what a night, last night was! The 2021 season opener for the Winnipeg Jets against the Calgary Flames was as good as a game any hockey fan could ask for.
The Jets stormed back from a two-goal deficit to win in dramatic overtime fashion against the Flames. This game was a great way for the Jets to start their new 2021 campaign, while Calgary left Bell MTS Place with their heartbroken.
Below are three talking points from the Jets 4-3 dramatic opening game victory over the Flames:
3. Jets get some revenge
As I mentioned in yesterday’s game preview, the Jets had a fantastic opportunity to get some revenge over the same team that knocked them out of last year’s postseason.
The Jets did exactly that in last night’s victory. They played hard, fast, and physically to take a majority of the points from the game.
Although yesterday’s win is not going to fix the heartache of the Jets getting knocked out of the Edmonton bubble by the Flames in August, it is an extremely positive start to the season.
This win is a step in the right direction for the Jets in rewriting the disappointment of the 2020 Stanley Cup Qualifiers.
