Minnesota increased its lead to 2-0 with 9:23 remaining in the first period. Jake Middleton fired a long pass to Hinostroza, who controlled the puck and scored on a mini-breakaway for his third goal of the season and his first since Nov 7 against the New York Islanders.
Calgary cut the deficit to 2-1 with 14:11 to go in the third period. Frost carried the puck into the offensive zone, kept it for a shot, and scored on a wrister past Gustavsson's glove side.

Kaprizov tied Boldy for the team lead with his 29th goal to make it 4-1 with 2:15 remaining. He buried an empty-net goal as the Flames removed their goaltender for an extra skater.
