ST. PAUL — Not even a two-goal lead against a team short a couple of defenseman was enough for the Calgary Flames to turn things around.

Devin Setoguchi scored in the fourth round of a shootout in the Minnesota Wild’s 3-2 comeback victory over the Flames on Thursday night.

“It’s just frustrating,” Calgary’s Blake Comeau said. “All around it feels like a big letdown and we got to figure it out in the next 48 hours before we play Dallas because it’s not going to be easy here on out.”

Dany Heatley and Darroll Powe scored in regulation for the Wild. Josh Harding stopped 27 shots and all four Calgary shots in the shootout to hand the Flames their fourth straight loss

Lee Stempniak and Anton Babchuk scored for Calgary, which failed to gain ground in the race for a playoff spot in the Western Conference.

Powe tied it at 2 with 7:37 left in the third when his shot trickled over the goal line. Officials originally ruled no-goal, but changed the call after a replay review.

Minnesota managed to rally despite playing most of the game without defensemen Jared Spurgeon and Marco Scandella. Spurgeon left in the first after getting elbowed in the head, and Scandella left in the second after blocking a shot with his hand.

Forward Matt Cullen filled in on the blue line.

“I told the defensemen that it wasn’t that hard,” Cullen said, grinning. “By no means am I a smooth backwards skater. But what else are you going to do? We know how to play hockey, so we did what we had to do.”

Setoguchi beat Miikka Kipprusoff with a wrist shot on the stick side, and Harding stopped Comeau to seal the victory.
