Cooley Backstops Flames to 2-1 Win in Pittsburgh, Ending Penguins’ Streak

The backup stopped 27 shots in his first start since Dec. 20.

Overview

  • The win ended Calgary’s four-game slide and halted Pittsburgh’s six-game winning run.
  • Matt Coronato scored the deciding goal 42 seconds into the third period.
  • Connor Zary opened the scoring on a first-period breakaway, and Egor Chinakhov tied it in the second.
  • A potential Penguins equalizer in the third was waived off for goaltender interference.
  • Cooley turned aside all 12 third-period shots as Arturs Silovs made 23 saves, and postgame analysis noted Calgary’s power play and veteran scoring remain issues.
