CALGARY \u2014 Mark Scheifele<\/a>\u2019s torrid start continued on Monday, extending his goal streak to five games with the game-winning marker at 15:06 of the third period as the Winnipeg Jets<\/a> rallied to defeat the struggling Calgary Flames<\/a> 2-1.<\/p>\n

Jonathan Toews<\/a> also scored for Winnipeg (5-1-0), who have won five games in a row. It was the first goal since April 13, 2023, for the 37-year-old Toews, who sat out the past two seasons due to health issues, before signing a one-year deal this year to play in his hometown.<\/p>\n

Rasmus Andersson<\/a> had the lone goal for Calgary (1-6-0), losers of six straight.<\/p>\n

Connor Hellebucyk had 32 stops for the Jets, while Dustin Wolf<\/a> had 26 saves for the Flames.<\/p>\n

Scoreless through the halfway point in the game, the Flames opened the scoring at 13:22 of the second when Andersson\u2019s shot from the blue line eluded Hellebuyck, who was being screened by Ryan Lomberg<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Toews tied it 2:41 into the third period.<\/p>\n

TAKEAWAYS<\/p>\n

Jets: Winnipeg entered the night with the league\u2019s third-best power play and while the Jets failed to score on their first four man advantages, they had a barrage of chances peppering Wolf with 15 shots over those four attempts. Toews\u2019 tying goal came on a deflection of Neal Pionk<\/a>\u2019s point shot on the Jets\u2019 fifth power play.<\/p>\n

Flames: It\u2019s been a struggle early on this season for Wolf, last year\u2019s runner-up for NHL rookie of the year, entering the game with an .854 save percentage, which ranked 36th out of 37 goalies with three or more starts. But he was sensational in this game and was perfect into the third period before losing his shutout bid on the Jets\u2019 26th shot.<\/p>\n

KEY MOMENT<\/p>\n

Scheifele\u2019s seventh goal and 10th point of the season came on a perfect setup from Kyle Connor<\/a>, who fed a pass over to his linemate, who neatly tucked a shot inside the far post.<\/p>\n

KEY STAT<\/p>\n

Scheifele (7-3-10) and Connor (3-6-9) run their season-opening point streaks to six games each. They have points in every Jets game.<\/p>\n

UP NEXT<\/p>\n

Jets: Host the Seattle Kraken<\/a> on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Flames: Host the Montreal Canadiens<\/a> on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
