Flames Rally Past Flyers 4-3 in Overtime: Coronato Wins It with 51.7 Seconds Left After Calgary Erases Three Deficits
The Calgary Flames beat the Philadelphia Flyers 4-3 in overtime at Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary on November 8, erasing three separate deficits before Matt Coronato scored the winner with 51.7 seconds left in overtime. Calgary improved to 8-9-1, while Philadelphia, with one win in its last seven games, fell to 4-10-5 and sits at the bottom of the Eastern Conference.
Denver Barkey opened the scoring for Philadelphia at 12:46 of the first period, and Zayne Parekh tied it at 15:26. Noel Acciari restored the Flyers' lead at 2:16 of the second, Zach Whitecloud tied it again at 5:59 with a long point shot for his first goal in 52 games, and Owen Tippett's power-play goal at 15:07 put Philadelphia ahead a third time. Joel Farabee tied the game a third time at 8:27 of the third period, converting a short-handed breakaway.
In overtime, Coronato joined a 3-on-1 rush, took the feed as he hit the slot and snapped a blocker-side shot past Dan Vladar for his second career overtime winner. Yegor Sharangovich collected two assists and Devin Cooley made 31 saves for Calgary. Flyers captain Sean Couturier posted two assists and Vladar stopped 22 shots.
Calgary has now won 62 consecutive games when scoring four or more goals, the second-longest such streak in league history behind the New York Rangers' 65 straight from 2011-14. Before the game, the Flames announced that defenseman Kevin Bahl will undergo season-ending surgery for a ruptured Achilles tendon.
