Kyle Connor and Mason Appleton Propel Winnipeg Jets to Eighth Consecutive Victory, Tying NHL Record in Calgary

Saturday, October 26th, 2024

Kyle Connor and Mason Appleton both added a goal and an assist each, helping the Winnipeg Jets achieve a 5-3 win over the Calgary Flames in Calgary, Alberta. This victory has extended the Jets' winning streak to eight games.

Nikolaj Ehlers, Dylan Samberg, and Cole Perfetti also found the net for Winnipeg. The team has now secured 16 consecutive regular-season victories, a milestone that has only been reached three times in NHL history.

For Calgary, Mikael Backlund, Rasmus Andersson, and Nazem Kadri each scored. The Flames have now lost two games in a row following a franchise-best start to the season of 5-0-1.

Eric Comrie played effectively in goal for Winnipeg, while Yegor Sharangovich's first game for Calgary didn't significantly improve their struggling power play.

A pivotal moment occurred when Dustin Wolf made six saves during Calgary's two-man advantage, but a subsequent slashing penalty granted Winnipeg another chance on the power play, which Perfetti successfully capitalized on.

Winnipeg's power play remains strong, currently ranked first in the NHL after achieving two goals from four opportunities against Calgary.

The Jets are set to host the Toronto Maple Leafs on Monday, while the Flames are slated to visit the Vegas Golden Knights on the same day.
