CALGARY, Alberta — Calgary Flames forward Ryan Lomberg has been suspended for a game and coach Bill Peters fined $10,000 by the NHL for a confrontation at the end of a game with the Minnesota Wild.

Lomberg went after Matt Dumba when the Wild defenseman steamrolled Flames center Mikael Backlund in the final minute of Calgary's 2-0 victory Thursday night.

Instigating in the final five minutes of the game resulted in Lomberg's automatic suspension and Peters' fine.

Flames captain Mark Giordano also had a hearing for kneeing Wild captain Mikko Koivu in the third period and was suspended two games. Giordano was assessed a tripping penalty.
