“(That) was a good example of us battling through a little bit of adversity, whether it was a couple unfortunate bounces, kind of going into our net and some unlucky stuff going our way,” Perfetti said.

Gabe Vilardi scored the deciding goal in the third round of the shootout as the Jets beat the Calgary Flames 4-3 on Saturday night.

Vilardi skated in on Dustin Wolf and beat the goalie low to the glove side, the puck pinging off the left post and into the back of the net.

“Two good goaltenders and Kyle Connor bounced one off the crossbar, and Helle gave us a chance, he, gave us the opportunity,” head coach Scott Arniel said. “Gabe, we know those hands, we’ve seen those hands, it’s nice to finish it right there.”

Connor Hellebuyck stopped all three shots he faced. Wolf stopped two.
