Late in the first period, Edmonton\u2019s Colton Dach crashed into Cooley during a scoring chance.<\/p>\n
Here is the hit on Devin Cooley that caused him to leave the game with a lower body injury. <\/p>\n
\ud83c\udfa5: Prime | #Flames<\/a> <\/p>\n Cooley got up and finished the period, but he left the game after the opening frame and was replaced by Dustin Wolf in net for the remainder of the game.<\/p>\n Just shy of five minutes into the second period, the Oilers doubled their lead. They won an offensive zone face-off back to the point, stacked up oodles of bodies between the point and the net, and Mattias Ekholm\u2019s shot found a way through the pack \u2013 and past Wolf \u2013 to give Edmonton a 2-0 lead.<\/p>\n Edmonton goal!<\/p>\n Scored by Mattias Ekholm with 15:08 left in the 2nd. Assisted by Ryan Nugent-Hopkins.<\/p>\n EDM: 2 | CGY: 0<\/p>\n #CGYvsEDM<\/a> #LetsGoOilers<\/a> #Flames<\/a><\/p>\n Early in the third period, the Oilers pulled things out of reach with a pair of goals.<\/p>\n With Kevin Bahl in the penalty box, the Flames couldn\u2019t clear a 50\/50 puck just inside their blueline. The Oilers cycled the puck down deep into the Flames\u2019 zone, and McDavid found Kasperi Kapanen at the far post for a tap-in to extend the lead to 3-0.<\/p>\n Power play goal for Edmonton!<\/p>\n Scored by Kasperi Kapanen with 19:05 left in the 3rd. Assisted by Connor McDavid and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins.<\/p>\n EDM: 3 | CGY: 0<\/p>\n #CGYvsEDM<\/a> #LetsGoOilers<\/a> #Flames<\/a><\/p>\n On the very next shift, Jake Middleton mishandled a puck in the Flames\u2019 zone. Jason Dickinson yoinked the errant puck and passed it to Alex Formenton, who fired the puck past Wolf\u2019s glove hand to give the Oilers a 4-0 lead.<\/p>\n The Flames had some looks, but the Oilers defended well in front of Tristan Jarry to cement a 4-0 win over Calgary.<\/p>\n Why the Flames lost<\/p>\n During the Flames\u2019 four game winning streak, they played imperfect hockey but their details were pretty good at key times. The Flames had a good start in this one and had some looks, but their details weren\u2019t especially good at key moments, and they seemed a little bit slower and more disjointed than we\u2019ve seen them recently.<\/p>\n Look at Edmonton\u2019s goals: a lapse in coverage that left Joseph wide-open, a lapse in coverage that gave Ekholm tons of time to shoot, a failed clearing attempt, and a puck-handling miscue that led to an own-zone turnover. The Flames looked\u00a0fine, but their details were lacking.<\/p>\n Red Warrior<\/p>\n I thought Mikael Backlund\u2019s line was the best of the bunch for the red team, so we\u2019ll give the nod to the captain.<\/p>\n Turning point<\/p>\n The Oilers scored two goals on consecutive shifts to kick off the third period, turning a 2-0 game into a 4-0 game and completely scuttling the Flames\u2019 hopes for a comeback.<\/p>\n Flames lineup<\/p>\n The Flames looked like this against Edmonton:<\/p>\n Joel Farabee \u2013 Mikael Backlund [C] \u2013 Matt Coronato Kevin Bahl \u2013 Simon Nemec Devin Cooley started in net, backed up by Dustin Wolf. The healthy extras were Joel Hanley and Maxim Tsyplakov. Jonathan Huberdeau and Sam Honzek missed the game due to injury.<\/p>\n As noted earlier, Cooley was replaced by Wolf to begin the second period due to what the club termed a lower body injury. Brennan Othmann didn\u2019t return after his first period fight with Ty Emberson due to what the club termed an upper body injury.<\/p>\n This was the 70th Battle of Alberta appearance for Flames captain Mikael Backlund.<\/p>\n This and that<\/p>\n This is the first time the Flames have been shut out this season. They were last shut out back on Mar. 10, 2026, when they lost to the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden by a 4-0 score.<\/p>\n The Oilers wore their cream alternate jerseys as the home team, so the Flames brought their classic red home sweaters up the highway to wear as the road team.<\/p>\n After Burner<\/p>\n Join Mike Gould and Cami Kepke right after the game for After Burner!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Up next<\/p>\n The Flames (5-7-0) are headed home. They host the Seattle Kraken on Friday night in the first half of a back-to-back; they\u2019ll visit the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday night.<\/p>\n
