The only meeting between the NHLFlames and NHLJets this season came in a football stadium, as beer froze and snow fell. A rematch in the playoffs would provide a radically different backdrop. (via EricFrancis)
Their head-to-head matchup over the past four years demonstrates that the Flames have a slight edge with a 5-3-2 record, in which they’ve outscored the Jets, 29-18.
The lone meeting this year saw the two teams exchange power play goals before Bryan Little ended the memorable evening with a goal midway through overtime to put both teams right around .500 a dozen games into the season. The acquisition of Dylan DeMelo at the trade deadline stabilized the top pairing with Josh Morrissey, slotting Tucker Poolman into a third pairing role where he’ll likely share time with Luca Sbisa and Nathan Beaulieu. Neal Pionk has stepped up offensively in a second pairing role alongside Dmitri Kulikov.Up front, the Jets have a murderers’ row of snipers spearheaded by Scheifele, Wheeler, Laine, Kyle Connor and Nikolaj Ehlers.
