The Story in 60 Seconds

An overturned goal early in the third period sparked a four-goal surge by the Vancouver Canucks as they defeated the Calgary Flames 4-1 on Saturday night in Vancouver. The Flames led 1-0 on a Matt Coronato power-play goal before Liam Ohgren's redirect was ruled a goal upon video review. Replay officials determined the puck crossed the goal line inside goaltender Devin Cooley's glove netting, shifting momentum entirely to the home team.

Elias Pettersson scored the go-ahead goal on a breakaway midway through the final frame as Vancouver capitalized on Calgary's penalty trouble. Flames head coach Ryan Huska and captain Mikael Backlund credited the team's improved intensity but lamented losing rhythm due to frequent penalties. Forward Adam Klapka totaled 25 penalty minutes in the contest, including a fight with Luke Schenn, while rookie Zayne Parekh briefly exited following a heavy hit before returning to the bench.
