Minnesota extend winning streak to three games

St. Paul, Minnesota: The road-weary Minnesota Wild went the extra mile again to get two points on Tuesday night. Mikael Granlund scored the winning goal in a shoot-out for a 2-1 victory over the Calgary Flames that stretched Minnesota’s winning streak to three — the first two coming in overtime on a weeklong California trip that ended Sunday.

The shoot-out against Calgary reached the fifth round before Granlund beat Mike Smith. Alex Stalock then stopped Michael Ferland to seal it. The Wild overcame a slow start to win for the sixth time in their last seven home games.
