Matt Coronato Leads Flames to Overtime Win Against Montreal Canadiens

Tuesday, November 5th, 2024

In an exciting overtime match in Montreal, Matt Coronato's impressive play secured a 3-2 victory for the Calgary Flames against the Montreal Canadiens.

Coronato leveled the score late in regulation time and then quickly scored the winning goal just seven seconds into overtime. Connor Zary also contributed a goal for the Flames, with Dustin Wolf making 21 saves.

On the Montreal side, Joel Armia scored a short-handed goal and Brendan Gallagher added another. Sam Montembeault made 32 saves, extending the Canadiens' losing streak to four games.

Zary kicked off the scoring for Calgary in the second period, but Gallagher tied it up with his fifth goal of the season. Armia then put Montreal in the lead during the third period before Coronato's dramatic late-game contributions.

Key observations include Coronato's standout performance for Calgary, especially noteworthy given their struggles with the power play, while Montembeault delivered a strong showing for Montreal following two tough games.

A pivotal moment occurred when a goal late in the third period that would have awarded Gallagher a second goal of the night was overturned. Statistically, Montreal outshot Calgary in the first period, but Calgary took control in the second.

Looking ahead, Calgary is set to play against the Bruins on Thursday, while Montreal will head to face the Devils.
