All Flames after the first 10 minutes against a depleted Jets team without Schiefele and later Laine. Actually thought they started out well — Tkachuk set the tone early with his physicality and Schiefele definitely heard the footsteps as a result. Even Lindholm and Monahan were throwing the body as well which is great to see. Last year they tried to out-skill Colorado but you know they aren’t going to try that again this year.

Bennett and Lucic combine for 3 minor penalties but otherwise that line brought a ton of energy. They are absolutely going to wear down the Jets if they keep that up.

3R line is so much better than Jankowski/Bennett. Love that Rieder managed to get a shorty — was the GWG as well.

As for the hit, you can see Tkachuk’s skate connect with Schiefele’s lower leg. If it’s an Achilles injury then I’m guessing the Jets will announce it to try and get Tkachuk suspended. If it’s a knee or lower leg injury then it’s just bad luck for the Jets. Either way there was obviously no intent but Maurice is looking to stir the pot to try and help his team.
