“Will the Wild’s Bold Strategy Ignite a Last-Minute Playoff Comeback or Snuff Out Their Hopes Tonight?”

The Flames are battling for a playoff spot, and are a few games behind the Wild and another team. A win here could go a long way in moving up the standings. The Flames are 37-27-14 for the year with a 20-12-6 record at home. Similarly to the Wild, they are not scoring as many games per game as they are allowing. It is actually a bigger disparity between the numbers than that of the Wild. The Flames have scored 2.59 goals per game, but are allowing 2.91 per game. They do take more shots per game than they allow, so it seems like the quality of their opponent shots are better than the ones they are taking. Also like Minnesota, they are just 2-3 over their past five games, but they are competitive in each game. Tonight they will probably put Dustin Wolf in the net. He has been pretty solid for the Flames with a 26-16-8 record and a 2.64 goals against per game average, and a .910 save percentage.
