Good thing offence is our strong suit, we're going to need to pepper that guy with shots.
The Flames can certainly do it. Unfortunately I see the Flames as a team that is not strong on the boards or at faceoffs and I bet having stats like that is largely based on puck possession. Pretty sure Minnesota is one of the better faceoff teams. They're aggressive on the boards in the offensive zone and Suter-Brodin will control the game so long as they have the puck.

But if they can contest the puck and not give it away, they seem to have the offense. The Wild often get into ruts where they create chances and nothing goes in. Parise gets a lot of chances but he also needs tons of them score. Add to that a wildcard goalie in Berra.
