Coronato scores in overtime as Flames rally past Flyers

CALGARY · Matt Coronato scored 51.7 seconds into overtime to give the Calgary Flames a 4-3 comeback victory over the Philadelphia Flyers on Sunday at the Scotiabank Saddledome. The Flames erased three separate deficits, with Joel Farabee tying the game on a short-handed breakaway in the third period, before Coronato finished a three-on-one rush for the winner. Zane Parekh, Zach Whitecloud and Farabee also scored for Calgary, while Yegor Sharangovich had two assists. Devin Cooley made 32 saves in his first start back from a lower-body injury for the Flames, who improved to 8-9-1. The Flyers, who got goals from Denver Barkey, Noel Acciari and Owen Tippett, fell to 4-10-5. Sean Couturier had two assists for Philadelphia, moving past Rob Brind'Amour into eighth on the Flyers' all-time assist list with 367.

Philadelphia opened the scoring at 12:46 of the first period. After Couturier's initial shot was stopped, Barkey buried the rebound for his second goal in three games. Parekh answered for Calgary at 15:26, weaving past two defenders and firing a shot top corner past goalie Dan Vladar. The Flyers regained the lead early in the second. Acciari redirected a Nick Seeler point shot past a screened Cooley just 2:16 into the frame. Calgary tied it again at 5:59 when Whitecloud's wrist shot beat Vladar for his first goal as a Flame. Philadelphia took its third lead on the power play at 15:07, as Tippett spun in the slot and fired a rebound past Cooley.

Calgary responded with a short-handed goal midway through the third period. Farabee stole the puck at centre ice, broke in alone and slid a backhand under Vladar to tie the game 3-3. Vladar made two key pad saves late in regulation to force overtime, where Coronato converted a feed from Matvei Gridin for the decisive goal. The Flames played without top defenceman Kevin Bahl, who was ruled out for the season Sunday with a ruptured Achilles tendon requiring surgery. Parekh's goal was his seventh, moving him into fifth all-time in Flames goals by a defenceman aged 20 or under. Farabee scored in a sixth consecutive home game. Calgary has now won 62 consecutive games when scoring four or more goals, a streak that ranks second behind the New York Rangers' 65-game run from 2011 to 2014. Up next: The Flyers visit the Vancouver Canucks on Monday, while the Flames host the New York Rangers on Wednesday.
