Andrew Mangiapane and Nikita Zadorov each had a goal and assist as the Calgary Flames kept their playoff hopes alive with a 3-1 victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Wednesday.

The Flames (37-27-15) and Jets (43-32-3) both have 89 points, but Winnipeg maintains its hold on the second Western Conference wild-card spot because it has the better winning percentage.

The Jets have four games remaining, one more than the Flames. Walker Duehr also scored for the visiting Flames, who lost to Chicago the night before but are 5-1-0 in their past six games.

Jacob Markstrom stopped 34 shots. Connor Hellebuyck made 32 saves in his NHL-leading 61st start and 10th in a row. The Jets play another crucial game Saturday when they host the Nashville Predators, who have 86 points and five games remaining.
