Earlier Friday, Calgary forward Ryan Lomberg was suspended for a game and head coach Bill Peters fined US$10,000 for another incident that occurred at the end of Thursday’s game.
Lomberg went after Matt Dumba after the Wild defenceman steamrolled Flames centre Mikael Backlund in the final minute of regulation.
Instigating in the final five minutes of the game resulted in Lomberg’s automatic suspension and Peters’ fine.
