For the fourth time in four games, the Calgary Flames gave up multiple first period goals. For the third time in four games, they got behind early and chased. But the Flames managed to keep clawing back, eventually grinding out a 5-4 shootout victory over the Minnesota Wild despite never leading during the game.
