Flames beat Jets to extend their winning streak to 10 games

Jacob Markstrom, who made 22 stops, got Calgary’s start.

Connor Hellebuyck saved 28 Winnipeg runs.

BRUINS 5, AVALANCHE 1.

BOSTON (AP), — David Pastrnak scored two goals and assisted, and Boston rolled past Western Conference leader Colorado.

Boston has won two consecutive games with Patrice Bergeron and Jake DeBrusk scoring also for the team. Jeremy Swayman saved 28 shots, while Taylor Hall had three assists.

The makeup was for the Dec. 23 matchup, but was delayed due to a league-wide epidemic of COVID-19.

Colorado’s Nathan MacKinnon scored the only goal. Colorado lost its two-game winning streak. Darcy Kuemper was the winner with 40 saves.
