After being embarrased by the Calgary Flames last Saturday, the Minnesota Wild hoped returning home and coming out strong would help them end a rough stretch of the season and get back on the right track after a pretty disastrous road trip through Canada. But despite statistically having a better showing, a fast goal by Matthew Tkachuk and a fast second-period answer by Elias Lindholm prevented any chance of the Wild getting anything going, as Minnesota stumbled yet again in a 5-1 loss to the Pacific division leaders. Five Flames had a goal and an assist, while Marcus Foligno scored the lone goal for the Wild.
