Brandon Bussi stopped 20 shots, but his franchise-record-tying nine-game winning streak ended.
In their first game without No. 1 center Nazem Kadri, who was traded to Colorado on Friday, the Flames got off to a rough start when Jarvis scored 44 seconds into the game’s first shot.
Calgary bounced back in the second with three goals to take the lead for good. Strome, acquired from Anaheim on Friday, started scoring 19 seconds into the period off a pass from Olli Maatta, who also made his Flames debut after coming over from Utah in a trade on Wednesday.
