Winnipeg Jets: Three Talking Points From Last Night’s Win over Calgary

2. What a comeback

After the first period in last night’s game, many people feared the worst. The Jets did not have their game in the first frame and the Flames controlled most of the play and had some great scoring opportunities. The Jets went into the locker room after one trailing 3-1 including getting outshot thirteen to six.

The Jets did not let their first period performance affect the rest of their game and they went right to work in the second period in staging a comeback.

Jets assistant captain, Mark Scheifele started the comeback 34 seconds into the second frame with a rebound goal. The Jets then kept their foot on the pedal and were finally rewarded later in the period. The Jets got a man advantage and  Kyle Connor tied the game on a powerplay.

Laine completed the epic comeback win in overtime and you can see by the celebration and the smiles in the tweet by @NHLJETS below how much this win meant to the Jets:

It was great to see the Jets’ no-quit attitude and fight in the first game of 2021 and this game could be the spark of some great Jets performances right out of the gate in the new season.
