Winnipeg Jets ' Haydn Fleury, right, checks Calgary Flames' Kevin Rooney during first period NHL preseason hockey action in Calgary, Alta., Friday, Oct. 4, 2024. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Jeff McIntosh.The Winnipeg Jets finished off their six-game preseason slate with a 3-2 win in Calgary on Friday night, with both teams icing lineups that will closely resemble their opening night units.
Haydn Fleury launched a backhand pass high in the air down the ice, but Calgary couldn’t handle it as it made its way to their corner. Mason Appleton won a race to the puck as two defenders converged on him and Adam Lowry, leaving Nino Niederreiter wide open in front of Dan Vladar, and Niederreiter buried the puck off a great feed from Appleton to open the scoring.After each team failed to convert on a second power play opportunity in the second, Winnipeg doubled their lead with 4:01 to go.
Less then three minutes later, Mikael Backlund scored in similar fashion, tipping a Kevin Bahl point shot through Hellebuyck to level the score.
