Flames Rally Past Hurricanes 3-2

Both teams came up empty on their only power-play chances in the opening period, and the stalemate carried into the second. Six minutes in, Jesperi Kotkaniemi finally broke through with his second of the season to put Carolina up 1-0, shortly after the Canes failed to convert on their second man-advantage.

Calgary also wasted its second power play midway through the second period, but made sure to cash in on its third.

Morgan Frost tied it at 1-1 with his third goal of the year on the power play with under a minute left in the period. Carolina had an instant answer, as Jalen Chatfield scored with just four seconds remaining in the second to reclaim the lead and net his first of the season.

Calgary came up empty again on the only power play of the third period, but Yegor Sharangovich delivered the decisive moment late, scoring his second of the season with under five minutes remaining to win it.

It was a busy night for both goalies with a combined 70 shots on goal. Devin Cooley stopped 32 shots for Calgary to record his first 30-save game of the season. The win lifted the Flames to 2-6-0, while the Hurricanes dropped to 7-2-1.
