Rate The Calgary Flames @ Minnesota Wild

The Flames got off to a slow start allowing Zach Parise to record a 1st period natural hat trick and spoiling the return of Niklas Backstrom to Minnesota.

Parise's third goal came on a power play after T.J. Brodie was called for a bad hooking penalty, and the Wild added insurance after a bad Delay of Game penalty by Brandon Bollig.

On a positive note, Johnny Gaudreau scored, again, and Jakub Nakladal scored with a rocket from the point.
