Kadri scores in OT, Flames rally past Stars

CALGARY -- Nazem Kadri scored 1:01 into overtime to help the Calgary Flames rally for a 4-3 win against the Dallas Stars at Scotiabank Saddledome on Thursday.

Kadri took a return pass from Jonathan Huberdeau and knocked a backhand past Scott Wedgewood for Calgary's second straight overtime win. The goal was upheld after video review initiated by the NHL Situation Room for goaltender interference.

"I thought it was a good goal from the start, but in the back of your mind, anything can happen," Kadri said. "Obviously, they're going to challenge it. It's the game-winning goal. But I was pretty confident in it."

Defensemen MacKenzie Weegar, Noah Hanifin and Chris Tanev scored, and Huberdeau had two assists for the Flames (10-10-3), who have won two in a row and three of their past four. Jacob Markstrom made 13 saves.

"There's been a big turn here lately," Hanifin said. "The team's bonding, we're coming together, we're playing really good hockey right now. We're not quitting and we're playing against really good teams while we're doing it. It's great to see. Just got to keep this rolling into December here."

Mason Marchment scored twice, and Wedgewood made 32 saves for Dallas (13-5-3), which has lost three of four.

"It's a game of emotion and you've just got to try to stay even keel through it," Stars defenseman Thomas Harley said. "We're a veteran team in here. I don't think we got too up or too down, but we've got to play better."

Weegar helped force overtime when he tied it 3-3 at 17:19 of the third period with a point shot that sailed over Wedgewood.

The goal came after Dallas successfully challenged for a missed stoppage before Mikael Backlund scored to tie the game at 14:59.

"It's definitely frustrating, especially when it's that close in the game and you get a little bounce-back like that," Hanifin said. "We were playing good hockey at that time of the game. We just had to keep it going, stay with it, and fortunately, 'Weegs' got a good puck on net and it went in for us. I thought that was good karma."

Harley opened the scoring 4:51 into the first period to put the Stars up 1-0, taking a drop pass from Joe Pavelski and shooting past Markstrom’s blocker.

"Everyone loves scoring goals," Harley said. "I'd trade it for a win, though."

Tanev tied it 1-1 at 8:02 after his centering pass from the right side deflected off Dallas defenseman Ryan Suter's skate and between Wedgewood's legs.

Hanifin put the Flames up 2-1 when he batted a loose puck in the crease over the goal line at 15:30.

Marchment tied it 2-2 at 19:00 when he shot past the blocker of Markstrom after Miro Heiskanen's point shot hit Tyler Seguin and dropped to Marchment in the slot.

Marchment scored again on a penalty shot 1:49 into the third when he beat Markstrom glove side to give Dallas a 3-2 lead. Marchment received the penalty shot after he was hooked by Tanev on a breakaway.

The Stars have failed to hold a third-period lead in four of their past seven games.

"A lead with whatever, under five (minutes) to go when they scored that other one, it feels like a little bit of one that slipped away again," Wedgewood said. "It's unfortunate, but maybe if you look at the statistics of what they were doing to us, maybe it was a point earned. But obviously, in our locker room, having a lead with five minutes left to play, that's a point lost."

NOTES: The Flames had an NHL-leading seven comeback wins in November. ...Calgary outshot Dallas 11-1 in the second period and 26-6 after the first. ... Tanev had four shot blocks to reach 1,501 in his NHL career. ... Pavelski had an assist to extend his point streak to eight games (five goals, four assists). ... Earlier Thursday, the Flames traded defenseman Nikita Zadorov to the Vancouver Canucks for a third-round pick in the 2026 NHL Draft and a fifth-round selection in the 2024 NHL Draft that Vancouver initially acquired from the Chicago Blackhawks.
