Flames rally for victory over Oilers, continue streak of season-opening wins

Kadri's eighth‑round shootout winner capped Calgary's rally from 3-0 to beat Edmonton 4-3 in the Oilers' home opener, keeping the Flames' early momentum intact.

Gridin scored in his NHL debut, Zary added a power-play strike, and Coleman parked the tying goal in the third before the shootout. Edmonton built the lead on Nugent-Hopkins, Mangiapane and Draisaitl, whose 400th goal was a milestone moment, but Calgary's depth and urgency carried the night.
