CALGARY, Alberta (AP) -- Jarome Iginla scored a power-play goal with 1:07 left to give the Calgary Flames their seventh straight victory, 3-2 over the Minnesota Wild on Monday night.
Iginla also set up third-period goals by Dion Phaneuf and Daymond Langkow as the Flames battled back from a 2-0 deficit to improve to 11-7-2.
Mikko Koivu and Randy Robitaille scored for the Wild, who lost their third straight to drop to 8-9-2. Minnesota goalie Dwayne Roloson stopped 39 shots.
Playing in just his fifth game of the season after missing the first 14 with a knee injury, Koivu scored to put the Wild up 1-0 at 13:41 of the first period. Flames forward Jason Wiemer collided with defenseman Roman Hamrlik. As both lay prone on the ice, Wild forward Derek Boogaard promptly picked up the puck and fed it to Pierre-Marc Bouchard behind the net. Bouchard quickly threw the puck out to the slot for Koivu, who wristed a shot into the far corner past Calgary goalie Miikka Kiprusoff.
On a late second-period power play, Minnesota forward Robitaille fired a shot past Kiprusoff to put the Wild up 2-0. Calgary had killed off a pair of two-man advantages before surrendering the goal with 1:16 remaining in the second period.
