Your Minnesota Wild flew into Calgary after a nice win in Vancouver on Tuesday night looking to continue that new trend, winning. The draw on tonight’s card was no easy task. The Calgary Flames are one of the hottest teams in the NHL right now, picking up point in 8 of their previous 9 games and carrying a 3-game winning streak coming into tonight’s contest. But the Wild have had success in the Saddledome of late, winning 4 of their last 6 games in Calgary and the Wild have historically had a pretty good showing against Mike Smith, winning 13 of 19 games against the Flames veteran goalie.
Koivu hurt as Wild are handed their first shutout loss of the season.
