Here are three talking points from the Winnipeg Jets’ loss versus the Calgary Flames and a game preview of the Jets’ Sunday night matchup versus the Kraken.

The Winnipeg Jets started a quick two-game, back-to-back road trip with a Saturday evening matchup against the Calgary Flames at the Scotiabank Saddledome.

This game pitted the Jets who were riding high with a seven-game point streak, three-game winning streak, and off to their best start in franchise history against the Flames who were on a seven-game losing streak (0-5-2 record).

The Jets did not make any changes to their lineup from their last game in which they beat the Dallas Stars 5-1. Connor Hellebuyck got the start in goal in tonight’s game.

This game was a tough battle for the Jets, but they ultimately came up short by one goal to lose 3-2.

Here are three talking points from Winnipeg’s loss in Calgary and a quick preview of Winnipeg’s game tonight against Seattle:

4. The Win and Point Streaks Come to an End for the Winnipeg Jets

It has been a great run for the Jets. On October 24, the Jets broke a two-game losing streak with an impressive 4-0 shutout win over the St. Louis Blues and they have had a terrific run since.

Since that win over the Blues, leading up to last night’s game, the Jets were on a seven-game point streak which was comprised of three separate three-game winning streaks with an overtime loss in between.

In these seven contests, the Jets posted a 6-0-1 record and picked up 13 of a possible 14 points which has helped point them in a tie for first place in the Central Division with the Colorado Avalanche and Dallas Stars.

Unfortunately for the Jets, they lost a close contest versus the Flames in this one and it will be interesting to see how they bounce back versus the Kraken.
