I expect the Jets to start hard and fast, get the early lead, there's probably going to be at least a couple of early penalties, then Flames get into the game and possibly grab the lead, and then the game is really settled in the third if the Flames didn't put things away in the second.
Either way I think the Flames will be at least superficially the better team for most of the game, but if the Jets defend well as they did on the 2nd game and Hellebuyck doesn't have any more gaffes, it'll be a game of bounces.
I like our chances if the game is open much more than if its another physical grind. While the Flames can grind, they're usually not that good at converting that grind into goals. Forecheck and quick transitions are key, the Jets are well coached as a group, but their defense aren't individually that skilled, so I think chaos favors us a lot more than them.
