Andrei Kuzmenko shone with two goals and an assist as the Calgary Flames edged the Minnesota Wild 5-4. The Flames capitalized on their power play, with Kuzmenko and Rasmus Andersson both scoring during crucial moments. Martin Pospisil and Clark Bishop also contributed to Calgary's tally. Dustin Wolf, despite facing 25 shots, managed to secure the victory for the Flames, who have now won three consecutive games.
For the Wild, Mats Zuccarello's late goal brought them within one, but it wasn't enough. Minnesota's struggles continued, marking their fifth loss in six outings. Marc-Andre Fleury had a notable achievement, surpassing Patrick Roy for second-most career minutes played by an NHL goaltender. However, the team's penalty-killing unit, which has been underperforming, allowed Calgary to take control with their power play, conceding seven goals in the last six games.
