FLAMES FINISH OUT TOURNEY

PENTICTON - The Flames threw everything but the kitchen sink at Jets goalie Domenic DiVincentiis on Monday.
However, the Winnipeg 'tender made 44 stops as the Flames fell 5-3 in their final outing of the Young Stars Classic tournament.

Chris Sedoff, Jakob Pelletier and Emilio Pettersen scored for Calgary.
Dustin Wolf - who played the previous two outings - didn't dress Monday. Daniil Chechelev - who was drafted in the fourth round, 96th overall in 2020 - got the start between the pipes, with Brad Arvanitis backing him up.
Chechelev made 18 saves in the outing.
"Yeah, obviously it wasn't the result we were looking for but our effort was much better," said coach Mitch Love. "It was our best effort of the three games. I thought some of our veteran players really led the way in terms of the compete level and the expectation we're looking for.
"Give them credit, their goalie play real well, especially that second period. We probably deserved a better fate."

FIRST PERIOD:

The ice was heavily tilted in the Flames' favour to start the tilt.
Pettersen and Cole Schwindt had good looks in the first minute of play and Calgary kept coming in waves.
Minutes after being stopped when he walked into the high slot with a wrister, Sedoff skated into the zone and took a pass from Pettersen who was parked on the half wall, making no mistake with a seeing-eye shot top corner, farside past DiVincentiis, who had plenty of traffic on his doorstep.

It was Calgary's eighth shot of the tilt, while the Jets were yet to get a puck on Chechelev.
The Flames netminder robbed point-blank backhand attempt by Wyatt Bongiovanni with just under three minutes to play but Brad Lambert would sweep home a rebound at 1:18 to tie the game.

SECOND PERIOD:

Calgary went on the powerplay 2:25 into the middle stanza and got five shots on DiVincentiis but couldn't beat him.
Chaz Lucius one-timed a feed from Tyler Boland at the 5:46 to give Winnipeg its first lead of the contest. The shots at that point were 25-9 for Calgary.
The Flames recorded six shots on their second powerplay of the tilt with just under seven minutes gone to increase their shot total to 33 by the midway mark of the period.
Adam Klafka put a perfect feed into the tape of Pettersen on a 2-on-1 but DiVincentiis came up with another stellar stop, before stoning a cutting Walker Duehr right on the doorstep.
Calgary had a 40-12 edge in shots after 40 minutes,

THIRD PERIOD:

Just 44 ticks into the frame Pelletier tipped a wrister from Jeremie Poirier past DiVincentiis to knot it up. Conor Zary got the other helper.

The Jets responded 48 seconds later when Cole Perfetti skated down the left-wing and snapped a wrister low farside for an unassisted mark.
Pettersen answered took a pass from Cameron Whynot and put one top-shelf, farside similar to Sedoof's marker at 4:32.

Winnipeg retook the lead with 10:30 to go when Geg Meireles scored.
The Flames callked a timeout with two minutes left and pulled their goalie but the Jets added an empty-netter 10 seconds after, Calgary then killing off a penalty to run things out.
