Sunday Split

The Flames kicked off preseason by splitting a pair of split-squad games Sunday in Calgary and Edmonton against the Oilers.

Morgan Frost scored a pair - including the overtime winner - while Joel Farabee also scored in a 3-2 victory at Rogers Place, Ivan Prosvetov played the entire tilt between the pipes and made 28 saves.

The homeside fell 3-0 at the Scotiabank Saddledome, with Devin Cooley manning the pipes with 26 stops.

The opening 20 minutes was a scoreless affair in Edmonton, with Prosvetov stopping all nine shots he faced in his first frame as a member of the organization.

Darnell Nurse opened the scoring at 3:46 of the second, taking a snap shot from along the boards and beating Prosvetov between the blocker and his pads short side. However, the home team wouldn’t hold the lead for long.

Morgan Frost responded a few minutes later, corralling a pass from Dryden Hunt in the slot and rifling a wrist shot up high on Oilers goaltender Matt Tomkins at 7:14. Ryan Lomberg was also credited with an assist on Calgary’s opening marker.

Joel Farabee gave the Flames the lead at 11:02, tapping in a slick feed from Rory Kerins. Daniil Miromanov picked up the secondary assist on the tally.

Edmonton evened things up before the period came to a close with Matvey Petrov banking a shot in with under two minutes remaining.

The third period saw the team trade chances throughout but both goaltenders held their clubs in to take the game into overtime. In the extra frame, it was Frost who played the hero for the visitors.

The forward, who started overtime and put in a lengthy shift, potted the game-winner at 1:07, wristing a shot past Tomkins for his second of the night. Hunt and Kevin Bahl picked up the assists on the OT goal.

Meanwhile at the Scotiabank Saddledome, Edmonton opened the scoring when Kasperi Kapanen's shot trickled through Flames netminder Cooley three minutes into the game.

The homeside had its chances in the game. Matt Coronato had a solid look to finish off a feed from linemate Connor Zary with a forehand-backhand in the slot, but could not put it past Samuel Jonsson, who played the first half of the game for the Oilers. Coronato had another look later in the slot, with Zayne Parekh hammering a point shot after Jonsson made the first save, the Oilers netminder denying his point bullet as well.

Edmonton's Connor Clattenburg widened the gap, making it 2-0, 10:30 into the third period, capitalzing on a turnover by the Flames that landed on his stick in the slot.

Riley Stillman rounded out the scoring for Edmonton.
