Matvei Gridin Scores Twice as Flames Beat Maple Leafs 5
Gridin’s two goals helped Calgary extend its winning streak to 4 games and end Toronto’s eight-game run in the matchup.
On Monday, Matvei Gridin scored twice to lead the Calgary Flames to a 4-2 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs, capping a perfect homestand at Scotiabank Saddledome.
The win marked Calgary's first victory against Toronto since Feb. 10, 2022, snapping the Maple Leafs' four-game winning streak and their eight-game run against the Flames.
Flames goaltender Devin Cooley made 26 saves to improve to 4-2-0, while Toronto's Auston Matthews recorded his 800th career NHL point with an assist on William Nylander's goal.
Joel Farabee and Martin Pospisil sealed the win with empty-net goals late in the game, while Toronto winger Kirill Marchenko left early in the second period with a lower-body injury.
The Flames visit the Edmonton Oilers on Wednesday, while the Maple Leafs travel to face the Seattle Kraken on the same night.
