For the second game in a row, the Winnipeg Jets fell apart in a game where they had looked good in to start with, this time giving up four goals in the span of ten minutes in the second period to go from leading 3-1 to trailing 5-3 to the Calgary Flames.

The Jets ended up losing 6-3.

The Jets for what it’s worth did look ok in the first period, but there were warning signs that a long night was coming ahead. Despite the score, they had been outshot by Calgary 15-11 in that first period and spent the last five minutes a bit more on their heels as Calgary started to settle in to a more disciplined game.

The second period was the undoing for the Jets and once again a large culprit was the defense unwilling to try and stop the Flames from making easy zone entries and just allowing perimeter play to happen that ended up funneling towards the slot area. Winnipeg for right now just doesn’t seem to have an answer for that and to be honest, most teams would have an issue stopping that which is probably why good teams try to make initial zone entries difficult.

The Jets right now simply give up their blueline with little resistance and then seem to go into scramble mode when opposing teams start to direct pucks towards the net.
