Matt Coronato might not be playing many more games for the Calgary Wranglers. The Calgary Flames sent the 21-year-old to their AHL affiliate a couple weeks ago, but he was recalled by the NHL club last Friday.

Coronato drove in on the rush after retrieving the puck off the face-off at center ice and shot past Sam Montembeault from the left circle to win it. He tied it 2-2 with his first goal at 17:14 of the third. Connor Zary also scored, and Dustin Wolf made 21 saves for the Flames (7-5-1), who had lost five of six.

Matt Coronato and Dustin Wolf, two youngsters who represent the future of the Flames organization, did the heavy lifting in the Flames dramatic comeback win in Montreal. Eric Francis has that and more in his Flames takeaways.

The Calgary Flames have assigned forward Matt Coronato to their AHL affiliate, the Calgary Wranglers. This move, while somewhat discouraging for fans who saw Coronato working hard and looking solid in recent games, is likely a strategic decision as the Flames make room for the likely return of Yegor Sharangovich and, eventually, Samuel Honzek.
