The Jets fired 27 at Calgary backup Dan Vladar, riding his own five-game winless streak. He and his defence were no match for the NHL’s deadliest power play and its most lethal threesome: Gabe Vilardi scored twice, Kyle Connor and Mark Scheifele once each as the Jets won their third straight and finished a home-heavy January with a 7-3-2 mark.

Montreal always seems to give Winnipeg a tough test, especially in their own building. The Jets lost 4-3 in a shootout during last year’s annual visit (Laurent Brossoit was in net), and fell 4-1 the previous season (with Hellebuyck between the pipes).

Some were starting to whisper about a ‘Comrie Curse.’ Winnipeg Jets backup goalie Eric Comrie just could not buy a win in his previous eight outings (0-7-1).

Will they trade him now, will he walk or could the Jets still re-sign him? You wonder if Cole Perfetti is big or strong enough for his first full playoffs. Some of you just want to get Eric Comrie some run support — and one of you asked a fun statistical question about the Jets’ performance in Comrie’s starts.

Gabriel Vilardi scored two goals and added two assists to lead the Winnipeg Jets to a 5-2 victory over the Calgary Flames on Sunday.

The Jets win their third straight as they finally give Eric Comrie some run support rolling over the Flames 5-2. With the victory they improve to 34-14-3 on the season and tie the Capitals for most points in the NHL.

Comrie has surrendered 23 goals on 231 shots during his eight-game (0-7-1) losing skid. He has a 3-7-1 record with a 2.87 GAA and a .904 save percentage through 11 appearances this season. Calgary sits 27th in the league with 2.70 goals per game in 2024-25 and earned a 5-4 win over Minnesota on Saturday.
