Good spot to back the Minnesota Wild as they seek to bounce back from a 7-2 beating at Colorado. They're 5-0 in their last five games following a loss of three or more goals and 4-0 in their last four home games giving us our perfect 9-0 angle.

The Calgary Flames meanwhile are due for a let down game after sweeping a three-game homestand. They've lost each of their last two on the road and they're 4-9 in their last 13 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of greater than .600.

The Wild has earned at least a point in 12 of their last 13 games at Xcel Energy Center since Nov. 14, posting an 11-1-1 record in that span and 2-0 against Calgary on the season.

My NHL Game of the Week is a 10* play on Minnesota Wild.
