CALGARY - Counted on to shoulder a bigger role with the Winnipeg Jets this season, Cole Perfetti notched his first goal of the season on Saturday.

Sidelined the first month of the season with a lower-body injury, Perfetti's third-period power-play marker helped the Jets to a 4-3 shootout victory over the Calgary Flames.

For 17-plus minutes, it looked like his goal 1:20 into the third period would be the winner before Matt Coronato tied the game at 18:46 with the goalie pulled. But the Jets prevailed on Gabriel Vilardi's goal in the shootout.

Mark Scheifele and Tanner Pearson also scored for Winnipeg (11-7-0).

Jake Bean, Kevin Bahl and Matt Coronato scored for Calgary (5-12-3).

Connor Hellebuyck had 31 stops to improve to 8-6-0 while Dustin Wolf, who had 20 saves, falls to 5-10-2.
