Elias Lindholm scored the tie-breaking goal with 47 seconds left and the Calgary Flames tied their franchise record with their 10th consecutive victory, a 3–1 win against the visiting Winnipeg Jets on Monday afternoon.

Lindholm has scored a goal in eight straight games, which also ties a franchise record.

Sean Monahan and Tyler Toffoli also scored. Jacob Markstrom made 22 saves for the Flames, who had won 10 straight games twice previously in franchise history, most recently toward the end of the 2016–17 season.

Markstrom has won eight straight decisions, allowing two goals or fewer in all eight wins, including two shutouts.

Nathan MacKinnon scored the lone goal for Colorado, which had its streak of seven straight road wins snapped. Cale Makar and Mikko Rantanen assisted MacKinnon’s goal. Despite making 40 saves, Darcy Kuemper dropped his first regulation decision after a franchise-record 16–0–2 run.
