Sean Monahan shootout hero as Calgary Flames top Winnipeg Jets 3-2
CALGARY — Saving his best performance for last, Mike Smith says he’s now ready and focused on the regular season.
Sean Monahan scored the shootout winner and Smith made 39 saves as the Calgary Flames earned a 3-2 victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Saturday night to wrap up their pre-season.
“I felt a lot better tonight,” said Smith, who had struggled to an .850 save percentage through his first three appearances.
On a far busier night in net, 14 of the Jets shots came on the power play. At times, it looked like Smith was under siege.
