Matt Coronato scored at 4:08 of overtime Sunday to lift the Calgary Flames to a 4–3 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers at the Scotiabank Saddledome. Calgary trailed three times during regulation, but answers from Zayne Parekh, Zach Whitecloud and Joel Farabee kept the home side within reach. Farabee’s short-handed breakaway goal midway through the third period forced overtime before Coronato completed the comeback.
Devin Cooley returned to the Calgary crease after an injury absence and made 31 saves, according to the NHL’s official recap. Yegor Sharangovich contributed two assists, while Matvei Gridin fed Coronato on the decisive rush. Calgary improved to 8–9–1, recovering from Friday’s loss to Anaheim and earning a welcome victory after entering the night with two straight defeats.
Perhaps the most encouraging element for Calgary was its response to repeated adversity. The Flames never led in regulation, but kept generating chances and capitalized when Philadelphia gave up an odd-man rush in extra time. Their next challenge is to translate that resilience into more consistent play over a full game, beginning with Wednesday’s scheduled visit from the New York Rangers.
