After playing five road games in 10 days, the Flames return home to Calgary. Awaiting them are the red-hot Wild. Minnesota has won eight of its last 10 games, with four of those victories being shutouts, and the Wild are 12-1-2 during their last 15 games. Calgary has played a league-high 18 road games. Calgary's last eight games have all been at different venues. The Flames have played only 10 home games and are tied with Nashville for the fewest points in the NHL with 22. One of Calgary's losses came at Minnesota, 2-0, on Nov. 9. Getting outstanding goaltending from Filip Gustavsson and especially Jesper Wallstedt, the Wild have allowed an average of 1.2 goals in regulation in their last 12 games. The Flames are last in scoring, averaging 2.3 goals a game. They have scored one or fewer goals in three of their last four games. Take the Wild.
