Minnesota Wild vs Calgary Flames Main Match Info

Minnesota Wild vs Calgary Flames Moneyline Prediction

The Wild have been alternating wins and losses of late, and they’re coming off a hard-worked shootout win over the Chicago Blackhawks. Even if their recent performances have been uneven, they can rely on their offence to drive results. 

Minnesota rank seventh in power-play percentage (24 percent) and 14th in goals per game this season (3.17).

The Flames are the complete opposite. They sit 31st in goals (2.50) but also 12th in goals allowed (2.96). They thrive on special teams and have the fourth-best penalty-killing unit in the NHL, something that could be useful against the Wild’s excellent power-play offence. 

Calgary have been struggling despite their solid defensive play and enter this matchup on a four-game losing streak while ranking second-worst in goals (2.50).

This meeting pits a team built on offensive production against one that relies on defensive structure. 

While neither side has been particularly dominant lately, the Wild have gone W5, L3, OT2 over their last 10 encounters, and they’ll have the edge of playing at home against a Flames squad that have dropped four games in a row. Look for Minnesota to come away with the victory in this contest. 

Minnesota Wild vs Calgary Flames Player Prop

If the Wild are going to get a positive result out of this encounter, then expect Kirill Kaprizov to make an impact offensively. The star winger saw the end of his five-game multi-point streak in Tuesday’s 4-3 win over the Chicago Blackhawks. 

Still, he has nine points (three goals, six assists) over his last five contests.

Kaprizov has already recorded 28 goals this season, and if he stays healthy, he could be in line to reach the 40-goal plateau, a mark he hit in three straight seasons from 2021-22 through 2023-24. 

Kaprizov co-leads the Wild in goals alongside Matt Boldy with 28 each, and he also ranks first on the roster in total points with 64. 

Minnesota Wild vs Calgary Flames Same Game Parlay

Considering Minnesota’s scoring potential, highlighted by the Kaprizov-Boldy partnership, and the Flames’ struggles on the defensive end, it wouldn’t be surprising if this clash finishes with more than 5.5 goals. 

That outcome has occurred in each of the Wild’s last nine outings and two of Calgary’s last five. The Flames have been enduring significant woes on offence lately.

With Minnesota expected to win in what should be a high-scoring affair, we’re also backing Kaprizov to record at least three shots, a feat he’s achieved in three of his last five appearances. 

Last but not least, Hughes should play a huge role on offence as a playmaking threat on the blueline – he’s registered nine assists in an ongoing six-game point streak.

Minnesota Wild vs Calgary Flames Team News

Minnesota Wild Team News

The Wild will be close to full strength, with only two absences. Defencemen Zach Bogosian and Jonas Brodin are sidelined due to lower-body injuries. Bogosian has a shot at returning before the Olympic break, depending on how his final stage of recovery goes, while Brodin won’t be available until early March at the earliest. 

Calgary Flames Team News

The Flames have several players ruled out for this game, with most expected to return to the ice after the Olympic break. Defenceman Zayne Parekh (upper body) and John Beecher (upper body) are the only two players who could return in the coming days.

Other absentees include defenceman Jake Bean (undisclosed), centre Blake Coleman (upper body), and left winger Samuel Honzek (upper body). Honzek’s injury is far more complicated than the others, and he’ll miss the entire regular season. Prospects Henry Mews (knee) and Cullen Potter (upper body) are also out for the rest of the 2025-26 campaign.
