Flames MINNESOTA WILD at CALGARY FLAMES 8pm TV: SN National, CBC, CityTV - RADIO SN960



MINNESOTA WILD (31-15-3) 3rd in Central at CALGARY FLAMES (30-14-6) 1st in Pacific

WHY WATCH?


HOT AT HOME

While the Flames’ record winning spree — a 10-game tear that equalled both the longest in franchise lore and longest in the NHL so far this season



POINTS LEADERS

FLAMES

Johnny Gaudreau — 50 GP, 20 G, 44 A, 64 PTS, +39

Matthew Tkachuk — 50 GP, 24 G, 32 A, 56 PTS, +32

Elias Lindholm — 50 GP, 23 G, 26 A, 49 PTS, +37


WILD

Kirill Kaprizov — 48 GP, 23 G, 39 A, 62 PTS, +16

Mats Zuccarello — 42 GP, 17 G, 35 A, 52 PTS +18

Kevin Fiala — 49 GP, 17 G, 26 A, 43 PTS, +7



SPECIAL TEAMS

FLAMES: PP — 21.7% (11th) PK — 84.3% (6th)

WILD: PP — 20.3% (16th) PK — 79.3% (T-17th)


The Wild were once a snooze to watch, but that’s not the case anymore. They average 3.74 snipes per night, the third-best clip in the NHL. After back-to-back bummers in Ottawa and Toronto, they’re trying to avoid losing three in a row in regulation for the first time this season.
Flames vow to rebound against Wild after 'humbling' loss to Canucks

It was simply one of THOSE games, the ones you want to forget and certainly don’t want to repeat.

An off night for their stars, who couldn’t seem to get anything going.

An off night for goaltending.

And an off night for their penalty kill, which allowed three goals on seven opportunities after only allowing one goal in 25 opposing powerplay opportunities during the 10-game win streak.

Just an off night, period.


Odds
Minnesota Wild (31-15-3) vs. Calgary Flames (30-14-6)
February 26, 2022 10:00 pm EDT
The Line: Calgary Flames -144 / Minnesota Wild +128; Over/Under: -6.5

Flames Return Home To Face The Minnesota Wild

Just The Facts (Mostly Facts)

-Calgary will look to start another winning streak as they had their 10 game run crushed by Vancouver on Thursday 7-1.

-The Flames still have a streak going as they’ve won 10 in a row at the Saddledome.

-Calgary will play 7 out of their next 10 at home, which is a good thing for the Flames seeing they’re 14-4-4 on home ice.

-The Wild have hit a small rough patch, dropping two in a row and 4 of their last five.

-That little dip came on the heels of a streak of them winning 11 out of 13 games.

-Goaltending has become an issue with the Wild in their last four losses. Minnesota has given up 19 goals in those losses with old friend Cam Talbot having lost his last three starts.

-Minnesota has played the Flames tough at the Saddledome, going 5-5-0 in their last 10 when making the trip to Calgary.

-The Flames and Wild haven’t played since January 9th...of 2020, a span of 779 days, with the Flames winning 2-1.

Just looking at the schedule, this is part 1 of a home/away series with the Wild. Should be interesting, part 2 goes Tuesday.

Both teams with quite a similar record and good goaltending so it should be a good game. Flames are going to have to be ready for this one especially after last game.

Also first match up of the season for these two teams.

Go Flames!

These two games will be a good measuring stick for the Flames. Would be happy with a split but if they win this one then they are in the driver's seat for a two game sweep which would solidify them as the 2nd seed in the conference.

Minnesota is going to be a tough team for anyone to knock out of the playoffs this year as Guerin has done a wizardly job as GM.
I would love to see one of our depth lines get rewarded on the scoresheet to take the pressure off of the top line to always be our catalyst.
