Overview
- Calgary beat Toronto 5-2 on Monday night, ending the Maple Leafs’ four-game road winning streak and giving the Flames their fourth straight win.
- Matvei Gridin scored twice and added an assist to lead the Flames’ attack while Devin Cooley made 26 saves and continued his strong run of form.
- Maple Leafs forward Kirill Marchenko suffered a lower-body injury early in the second period, did not return, and head coach Jim Hiller offered no full update after the game.
- Sergei Bobrovsky finished with 29 saves but was notably outplayed by Cooley, increasing the likelihood Toronto will alter goalie usage in the next game.
