The Calgary Flames were looking to add on to their current three-game win streak tonight vs. the Minnesota Wild. Four games and they’ll have a season high. If they win in regulation, they can surpass the Wild and potentially sneak their way back into a playoff spot. Momentarily, since the playoffs shift basically every day.
The Flames and Wild have already met twice this season. Tonight was the third and final meeting. The Wild won the first two games, one was a 4-2 win and the other came in a shootout. However, the first game had an empty-net goal, so it was basically also a one-goal game.
