Winnipeg erased a 4-2 deficit in the third and topped Calgary 5-4 in a shootout, with Tanner Pearson delivering the deciding goal in the seventh round. The Jets leaned on depth scoring—Haydn Fleury, Gustav Nyquist, Alex Iafallo and Parker Ford finding the back of the net as Connor Hellebuyck stopped 25 of 29. Calgary got a two-goal night from Nazem Kadri, but went 0-for-5 on the power play as Dustin Wolf faced 35 shots. In the Canucks-Oilers tilt, Vancouver pulled off a 3-2 OT win on Conor Garland’s early OT strike after Jonathan Lekkerimaki tied it late in the third; Edmonton got goals from Kasperi Kapanen and Leon Draisaitl, with Pettersson leaving after an elbow to the head in the second.

The night showcased preseason storylines: Jets’ scoring depth and goaltending steadiness versus Flames’ run-and-gun through Kadri’s a.m. two-goal effort, plus a Canucks win that underscored Garland’s finishing touch and Lekkerimaki’s timely equalizer. Both games offered a closer look at roster battles, special-teams execution and how fantasy assets might ride the momentum into the regular season.
