Lindholm's go-ahead goal leads scorching Flames past Jets for 10th consecutive victory

Elias Lindholm's go-ahead goal with 46 seconds remaining extended his goal streak to eight games as the Calgary Flames tied a franchise record with their 10th consecutive victory, winning 3-1 over the Winnipeg Jets in Calgary.

Sean Monahan and Tyler Toffoli, into an empty net, also scored for Calgary (30-13-6), which wrapped up a perfect seven-game homestand. The Flames play in Vancouver on Thursday.

The 10-game winning streak ties a franchise record. It was done on two occasions, the last time was in 2016-17 with the streak beginning five years ago to this day. The other time was in 1978-79 when the franchise was still in Atlanta.

Jacob Markstrom got the start for Calgary, making 22 stops to improve to 23-10-5.

Connor Hellebuyck had 28 saves for Winnipeg. His record falls to 17-18-7.

After winning five games in a row by three-or-more goals, the last two outings have been hard-fought defensive struggles. Calgary got a third period goal to win 2-1 over Seattle on Saturday. It was a similar script on Monday afternoon.

On the go-ahead goal, Johnny Gaudreau sent a shot towards the net that Lindholm got his stick on, the puck changing directions and eluding Hellebuyck.

Lindholm has been the hottest Flames player during the streak with a team-best 16 points. He now shares the record for consecutive games with a goal with Kent Nilsson and Gary Roberts. He also extends his point streak to 10 games (nine goals, seven assists).

After a scoreless first period in which neither team generated much, the Flames opened the scoring 1:07 into the second on the power play. Monahan got the puck from Andrew Mangiapane and put a wrist shot over Hellebuyck's shoulder from 20 feet
