CALGARY — Matt Coronato scored at 4:08 of overtime as the Calgary Flames beat the Philadelphia Flyers 4-3 on Sunday at Scotiabank Saddledome.
Coronato finished a three-on-one to end it, taking a feed from Matvei Gridin. Simon Nemec had the other assist on the winner, Coronato's fourth goal of the season.
Denver Barkey opened the scoring at 12:46 of the first period for Philadelphia, set up by Sean Couturier and Jamie Drysdale.
Zane Parekh tied it 1-1 at 15:26, carrying the puck through the offensive zone before going upstairs for his second goal of the season. Yan Kuznetsov and Yegor Sharangovich assisted.
Noel Acciari put the Flyers back in front at 2:16 of the second period, tipping in a Nick Seeler setup.
Zach Whitecloud tied it 2-2 at 5:59. Aydar Suniev kept the puck in and dished to Whitecloud, who sniped one past Dan Vladar for his first goal as a Flame. Sharangovich picked up his second assist of the game on the play.
Owen Tippett restored the Philadelphia lead on the power play at 15:07 of the second, after Parekh was called for hooking. A failed Flames clearing attempt let the Flyers work the puck around, and when the rebound popped into the slot it caromed to Tippett, who turned and fired it just over the pad on the glove side for his second goal of the season. Philadelphia was outshooting Calgary 23-13 at that point.
Joel Farabee tied it 3-3 shorthanded at 8:27 of the third period, breaking in alone on Vladar and going forehand to backhand for his seventh goal of the season, against his former club. Martin Pospisil assisted.
Devin Cooley made 31 saves for Calgary. Vladar stopped 22 for the Flyers, who outshot the Flames 34-26.
Calgary was without defenceman Kevin Bahl for a second straight game. Bahl ruptured his Achilles tendon before warm-ups ahead of Friday’s game against Anaheim and is set to have surgery that will end his season. Bahl has been the Flames’ most-used defenceman this season, averaging 21:56 of ice time per game.
The win moves Calgary to 17 points, four back of Utah for the second wild-card spot and four back of Anaheim for third place in the Pacific Division. The Flames’ homestand continues Wednesday against the New York Rangers.
