Overview
- Devin Cooley rebounded from an earlier rough outing to make 34 saves and earn his first win of the season in Calgary’s upset of the defending champions.
- The scoring swung late as Matvei Gridin tied the game and Morgan Frost scored on the power play 69 seconds later, with Yegor Sharangovich finishing the game-winner at 15:32 of the third.
- Brandon Bussi started for Carolina and stopped 31 shots but took the loss as the Hurricanes’ seven-game streak and perfect road record were both halted.
- Carolina played without regulars including Jordan Staal and Taylor Hall, and Mark Jankowski was scratched pregame and sent back to Raleigh for lower-body evaluation, a developing depth concern.
- The win gave Calgary its first home victory of the season and could provide a timely morale lift for a team that had struggled offensively and in goal early in the campaign.
