The Calgary Flames and Edmonton Oilers played twice on Sunday night. In the Edmonton portion of their split-squad home-and-home set, the Flames beat Edmonton in overtime by a 3-2 score.

Neither team scored in the opening period, but Darnell Nurse lit the lamp early in the second period to give the home side a 1-0 lead.

A few minutes later, though, Morgan Frost scored, cutting through the slot and beating Matt Tomkins with a spin-and-shoot wrister to tie the game at 1-1.

A few more minutes later, Joel Farabee buried a feed from Rory Kerins on a power play to give the Flames a 2-1 lead.

But before period ended, Matvei Petrov tied things up for the Oilers at 2-2.

The third period settled nothing and this exhibition game – already a form of bonus hockey in itself – produced additional hockey at no extra cost to the attendees. In extra time, Frost scored his second of the game to give the Flames a 3-2 victory.

Despite having a roster that was a bit leaner on NHL pedigree than their Edmonton counterparts, the Flames seemed to do a pretty capable job of hanging around. Were they out-shot? Yes, in all three periods, and by a 30-14 in the aggregate.

Let’s give a shout-out to Frost, who scored twice and won 54.5% of his draws, Kevin Bahl, who played a team-leading 23:37 and was on for zero goals by either team, and Ivan Prosvetov, who made 28 saves for the victory.

Flames lineup:

Farabee – Frost – Frk
Lomberg – Pospisil – Klapka
Hunt – Kerins – Ciona
Battaglia – Bishop – Bell

Bahl – Hurtig
