CALGARY — Gabriel Vilardi scored the only goal in Saturday's shootout as the Winnipeg Jets defeated the Calgary Flames 4-3.
Mark Scheifele, Tanner Pearson and Cole Perfetti scored goals for Winnipeg (11-7-0), while Kyle Connor and Josh Morrissey each had a pair of assists. Morrissey extended his point streak to five games (2-6-8).
The Jets finished their six-game road trip with a win after losing four of their first five. Winnipeg also wins the season series with the Flames, 3–0.
Jake Bean, Kevin Bahl and Matt Coronato scored for Calgary (5-12-3), which ranks last in the NHL overall.
Connor Hellebuyck had 31 saves to improve to 8-6-0, while Dustin Wolf, who had 20 saves, fell to 5-10-2.
After neither team was able to make much of an impact in overtime, scoring just one shot each, the game went to a shootout, which Vilardi, Winnipeg's third-leading scorer, won it.
Hellebuyck stopped Morgan Frost, Jonathan Huberdeau and Rasmus Andersson to set the stage for Vilardi.
The win was Hellebuyck's 330th career win, moving him into a tie with Harry Lumley for 30th place on the NHL's all-time list.
TAKE AWAY
Jets: Perfetti's goal was his first of the season. This will be his fourth game after missing the first month with a lower-body injury suffered in the Jets' final preseason game. The 23-year-old right winger is coming off a season in which he set career highs with 18 goals and 50 points.
Flames: Calgary lost rookie LW Sam Honzek to an upper-body injury when he and linemate Mikael Backlund collided heavily at the Jets blue line in the second period. While Honzek slowly came off the ice at the other end of the ice, Scheifele was free on the right wing and scored the first goal at 7:19.
KEY POINT
Calgary earned a point by tying the game at 18:46 of the third period with a goal on a power play that turned into a six-on-four when Wolf was replaced with an extra skater. Rasmus Andersson's shot with Adam Klapka in front was stopped, but Coronato blocked the rebound.
KEY STATISTICS
Coronato's tying goal was Calgary's first power play goal on home ice since their home opener against St. Louis on Oct. 11. They failed to hit their last 27 batters at the Scotiabank Saddledome. The Flames rank last in overall player advantage at 11.9%.
NEXT
Jets: Host the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday.
Flames: Visit the Chicago Blackhawks on Tuesday.
