Just The Facts (Mostly Facts)

-Calgary will look to start another winning streak as they had their 10 game run crushed by Vancouver on Thursday 7-1.

-The Flames still have a streak going as they’ve won 10 in a row at the Saddledome.

-Calgary will play 7 out of their next 10 at home, which is a good thing for the Flames seeing they’re 14-4-4 on home ice.

-The Wild have hit a small rough patch, dropping two in a row and 4 of their last five.

-That little dip came on the heels of a streak of them winning 11 out of 13 games.

-Goaltending has become an issue with the Wild in their last four losses. Minnesota has given up 19 goals in those losses with old friend Cam Talbot having lost his last three starts.

-Minnesota has played the Flames tough at the Saddledome, going 5-5-0 in their last 10 when making the trip to Calgary.

-The Flames and Wild haven’t played since January 9th…of 2020, a span of 779 days, with the Flames winning 2-1.
