<p>The Calgary Flames&#8217; slide continued on Friday night. They were scored on in the first period and chased the rest of the way. They lost 3-2 to the Winnipeg Jets to extend their current skid to four games – and five of their last six games.</p>
<p>Here are some selected quotes from the post-game media addresses.</p>
<p></p>
<h2><strong>Milan Lucic</strong></h2>
<p><em>Lucic was a factor in the third period for the Flames, both good and bad. He had a goal, but he also had two penalties that sapped momentum and led to Winnipeg&#8217;s eventual game-winner. He broke down the third period.</em></p>
