The Wild battle the Flames in a match that should draw plenty of interest. Minnesota’s in the thick of the deep Central Division while Calgary leads the Pacific Division. Both teams hope to continue the quest for a high-seeded playoff spot on Thursday, Dec. 6. Will Calgary continue to show why they’re the top team in the Pacific? Or, will Minnesota prove how deep the Central really is?
Calgary’s in great form. The Flames have gone an excellent 7-3 in their last 10. They’ve won 4-of-5 and 3 in a row. The lone loss was to Dallas 3-4 in overtime.
The Flames are a better team than anyone’s giving them credit for being. Calgary can continue to excel because they allow less than 3 goals per while averaging 3.6 per. The balance should be on display on Dec. 6 with the Flames pulling out a big win.
