MONTREAL (AP) — Matt Coronato scored twice as the Calgary Flames came back to defeat the Montreal Canadiens 3-2 in overtime on Tuesday night. Coronato tied the game with 2:46 remaining in regulation when he cruised into the slot and went off the post and in. He then buried the winning goal seven seconds into the extra period.

Coronato drove in on the rush after retrieving the puck off the face-off at center ice and shot past Sam Montembeault from the left circle to win it. He tied it 2-2 with his first goal at 17:14 of the third. Connor Zary also scored, and Dustin Wolf made 21 saves for the Flames (7-5-1), who had lost five of six.

The Calgary Flames have assigned forward Matt Coronato to their AHL affiliate, the Calgary Wranglers. This move, while somewhat discouraging for fans who saw Coronato working hard and looking solid in recent games, is likely a strategic decision as the Flames make room for the likely return of Yegor Sharangovich and, eventually, Samuel Honzek.
