| (MySportsbook) - The Calgary Flames ended a three-game road trip on Tuesday with a 4-3 overtime loss to the upstart Minnesota Wild.

A questionable hooking call on Martin Gelinas, who turned in his finest game with the team, in the extra session led to Cliff Ronning's game-winner 40 seconds later. "Yeah...you lay a stick on a guy, and he falls like he was shot," Calgary coach Greg Gilbert said after the |
