Matt Coronato needed just 4:08 of overtime to finish it, lifting the Calgary Flames to a 4-3 win over the Philadelphia Flyers on Sunday night at Scotiabank Saddledome.
It was a back-and-forth game from the start, with Denver Barkey putting Philadelphia on the board first at 12:46 of the opening period. Sean Couturier and Jamie Drysdale picked up the assists. Calgary answered before the period ended when Zayne Parekh tied it 1-1 at 15:26.
The Flyers kept punching back. Noel Acciari made it 2-1 at 2:16 of the second period, only for Zach Whitecloud to even things again at 5:59. Then Owen Tippett restored Philadelphia’s lead on the power play at 15:07, setting up a third period where the Flames had to keep climbing.
They did exactly that. Joel Farabee scored short-handed at 8:27 of the third to pull Calgary level at 3-3, and the game stayed there until Coronato ended it in overtime off feeds from Matvei Gridin and Simon Nemec.
Yegor Sharangovich had two assists for Calgary, while Parekh, Whitecloud and Farabee each found the net. Devin Cooley made 32 saves on 35 shots.
Philadelphia got two assists from Couturier, with Barkey, Acciari and Tippett scoring. Dan Vladar stopped 22 of 26 shots.
The Flyers finished with a 35-26 edge in shots, but Calgary made its chances count. The Flames went 0 for 2 on the power play, while Philadelphia finished 1 for 3.
With the win, Calgary moved to 8-9-1 and sits 10th in the Western Conference. Philadelphia dropped to 4-10-5, remains 16th in the Eastern Conference, and has now lost three straight.
Next up, the Flames host the New York Rangers on Wednesday, Nov. 11, at 7:30 p.m. ET.
The Flyers head to face the Vancouver Canucks on Monday, Nov. 9, at 9:30 p.m. ET.

Flyers Frustrations Are Starting To Force Bigger Roster Questions
The Flyers latest stretch has only sharpened the sense that the roster is still searching for the right mix. A road loss to the Rangers was followed by an overtime defeat against the Flames after Philadelphia let three leads slip away, a frustrating sequence that has put discipline and chemistry under the microscope. The coaching staff has already started shuffling lines in an effort to settle things down, while Matvei Michkov remains a central figure in the noise around the club.
Even with some encouraging signs from Jamie Drysdale and Denver Barkey, the bigger question is whether the current group is enough to steady the season. Around the team, there is already speculation about potential roster movement as the Flyers try to find a cleaner fit and more stability up the middle, and the recent results have only added urgency to those conversations.

Flyers Still Have One Problem Threatening This Early-Season Slide
Through the first 19 games of the 2026-27 season, the Flyers have been trying to find any kind of rhythm at both ends of the ice. The offense has been too inconsistent, the defensive group has been stretched thin, and a 4-10-5 start has left little margin for error in a Metropolitan Division that rarely gives teams much breathing room. Even with Travis Konecny and Owen Tippett back in the lineup after injury absences, Philadelphia still has not found the steadier version of itself coach Rick Tocchet needs.
One lingering issue is the blue line, where the Flyers have had to keep adjusting their mix while waiting for more stability. Rasmus Ristolainen is still on injured reserve with an upper-body injury, and his absence has only added to the challenge of building depth on defense. The Flyers are working to correct the slide as the schedule moves on, but until that side of the roster settles in, the pressure on the rest of the group will keep growing. [Read more 🡒]
Cutter Gauthier Is Making The Ducks Rebuild Look Way Ahead Of Schedule
Cutter Gauthier keeps turning Anaheims rebuild into something much more immediate. He scored another hat trick in the Ducks win over the Pittsburgh Penguins, helping stretch the clubs winning streak to five games and further validating the kind of long-term bet Anaheim made when it committed major money to its young core. Leo Carlsson is also off to a strong start, and together the two have given the Ducks a much faster timeline than many expected.
Gauthiers production has been the loudest part of it, with the winger sitting at the top of the league scoring race and piling up milestones at a pace that is starting to feel historic. For Flyers fans still watching the other side of that trade, it is hard not to notice how quickly Anaheim is building around him, and how much more dangerous the Ducks look when their young stars are driving results instead of just projecting them.
