Flames @ Wild - 6:00 MST
Flames take on the Wild tonight at Xcel Energy Center -- the two teams met back on October 21 with Minnesota winning 4-2 in Calgary. In that game, the Flames scored the go-ahead goal early in the third period, but the Wild came back with three unanswered in the final 10 minutes of the game to take the two points.
Only one point separates them in the wildcard race, with Minnesota having one game in hand. Both teams are also riding two game winning streaks; the Wild have also won four out of their last five, with three of them coming in overtime.
Who's hot: Sam Bennett continues to pile up points, including the GWG against Vancouver.
Who's not: Flames powerplay looked putrid against Vancouver, especially the first unit. Mark Jankowski, come on down.
Prediction: Flames win 3-2 in OT.
