Calgary Flames fall to the hands of the Minnesota Wild 4-2

Ryan Suter had a goal and two assists Saturday night to lead the Minnesota Wild to a 4-2 comeback win over the Flames at the Saddledome.

Trailing 2-1 in the third period, Suter tied it at 10:33 when his long wrist shot eluded Mike Smith, who appeared to be partially screened by his own defenceman. Less than two minutes later, Suter set up Jared Spurgeon, who wired a 40-foot slap shot over Smith’s shoulder and under the crossbar to give the Wild the lead.

Sean Monahan and Kris Versteeg scored for Calgary, who has lost three straight at home, scoring only three goals over that span. The Flames head onto the road next with back-to-back games with Nashville and St. Louis beginning on Tuesday at Bridgestone Arena.
