Niklas Backstrom kicked away 33 shots, but it wasn't enough as the Minnesota Wild fell to the Calgary Flames on Saturday night 3-1. All three goals were given up in the third period in a matter of 9 minutes, 13 seconds. Minnesota has one win in its last 12 games. Backstrom's record has slipped to 12-11-4, but his goals-against average (2.39) and save percentage (.923) remain very solid.
