Read played on Saturday night in Calgary for Zach Parise (bruised foot) and scored a goal in the Wild's 4-2 victory over the Western Conference leading Flames.

He was sent to Iowa before yesterday's 3-2 loss to Nashville, a game in which Parise played.

The Wild flew to Nashville today for tomorrow night's game against the Predators.

After Saturday's game, coach Bruce Boudreau said about Read: "He just went in and played. He killed penalties. He did what he's supposed to do, and he's been in that situation many times before in Philadelphia. So I don't think he's worried about it."

The horn sounded to signal a third straight trip to the Stanley Cup Final, and the Florida Panthers celebrated merely by hopping over the boards and several heading over to to congratulate goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky.
