Oilers-Flames Battle of Alberta Takes Calgary Stage Before NHL Breaks for Olympics

On Wednesday, the Calgary Flames defeated the Edmonton Oilers 4-3 in Calgary, this report first published Feb. 4, 2026.
Rookie Matvei Gridin, 19, supplied a goal in his second game in three, while Flames goaltender Devin Cooley stopped 36 shots, backing Calgary’s win.
A bouncing puck deflected off Ryan Lomberg’s skate and he buried the rebound for the go-ahead goal 6:44 into the third, while Tristan Jarry, Oilers goalie, made 21 saves and took the loss.
The Flames clinched the season series, taking three of four games, with Jonathan Huberdeau scoring as Calgary improves to a 23-27-6 record.
Both teams now hit the Olympic break for three weeks before returning to California road trips, with Edmonton in Anaheim on Feb. 25 and Calgary in San Jose on Feb. 26, while Draisaitl moved past Mark Messier into fourth on Edmonton’s all-time points list.
