3 Big Questions for both Winnipeg and Calgary heading into their play-in series

Considering where both teams finished in the standings there are questions about both squads ahead of their play-in series.

Winnipeg:

Why did Paul Maurice start his team off slow at training camp and will it impact Winnipeg’s return to real game action? Does Connor Hellebuyck need to stand on his head for the Jets? And can Winnipeg’s high-end offensive talent carry them to a series victory over Calgary? Sean Reynolds & Shawn McKenzie discuss.

Calgary:

Will Calgary’s top line produce when it matters most? Will David Rittich or Cam Talbot get the nod in goal? And will there be significant changes if the Flames can’t win a playoff series? Eric Francis & Shawn McKenzie break it down.
