Flames Beat Maple Leafs 5-2 as Gridin Scores Twice

The victory gives Calgary a four-game winning streak and alters the early-season outlook for both clubs, especially on goaltending and depth scoring.

Overview

  • Matvei Gridin scored two goals Monday night to lead the Calgary Flames to a 5-2 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs at the Scotiabank Saddledome.
  • Devin Cooley made 26 saves for his fourth straight win while Sergei Bobrovsky stopped about 29–30 shots and took the loss for Toronto.
  • Kirill Marchenko left early with a lower-body injury after an awkward collision, creating a developing roster concern for the Maple Leafs.
  • Auston Matthews recorded his 800th NHL point with an assist on William Nylander’s goal in the third period as Toronto’s four-game winning streak ended.
  • The game shifts momentum: Calgary’s young forwards and special teams have surged, and both teams face tight schedules that will test Toronto’s goalie rotation and Calgary’s ability to sustain its run on the road.
