Kyle Connor scored twice including the game-winner as the Jets rallied to beat the Flames.

Set up on a cross-ice pass from Blake Wheeler, Connor sent a one-timer into the top corner inside the near post before Jacob Markstrom could get across. Connor's 14 goals ties him for fifth in the NHL.

Matthew Tkachuk and Elias Lindholm scored for Calgary , which lost in regulation for the first time in eight games . The Flames wrap up a three-game homestand on Monday against the Pittsburgh Penguins. But Calgary continually bottled up the Jets and prevented them from being able to set up. With just over a minute remaining in that power play, the Flames drew a hooking penalty on Neal Pionk, which ended the extended five-on-four during which Winnipeg generated only two shots.

The Jets tied it 2-2 at 4:50 of the second on a goal that left Flames goaltender Markstrom visibly upset, believing there was goaltender interference. With the puck in the crease, Stastny knocked both Markstrom's pad and the puck into the net at the same time. Calgary did not challenge the call.
