Jets Defeat Flames, Lead Western Conference

The Winnipeg Jets secured a 5-2 victory over the Calgary Flames, marking their third consecutive win and strengthening their position as Western Conference leaders. Gabriel Vilardi shone with two goals and a career-high four points, while Kyle Connor and Mark Scheifele also contributed significantly to the Jets' performance. Despite a strong start to their road trip, the Flames' three-game winning streak was halted, although they maintain a wild-card spot in the Western Conference. Goaltender Eric Comrie made a notable return to form for the Jets with 20 saves, achieving his first win since November. The Jets' powerful power play and the Flames' penalty kill issues were evident as Vilardi scored a crucial power-play goal. The Flames' Nazem Kadri provided some resistance with a goal, but it wasn't enough to overcome the Jets' dominance.
