The NHL Western Conference will open its Saturday’s schedule with the clash between Calgary Flames and Minnesota Wild, teams that are currently remarking as two of the biggest outsiders in the beginning of the regular season. However, the big challenge is just getting started for both, as they must manage to keep the same level throughout the season to ensure a playoff spot.

When looking at both teams’ performance, Calgary Flames is in the second spot of the Pacific Division with a streak of 3 victories in a row. However, it must be noted that the Flames haven’t been able to score more than 3 goals during their last 5 games in a row. In this regard, Calgary Flames haven’t received any goals during the first and third periods of their latest 3 home games, currently holding an 8-3-0 record when playing in that condition.

Meanwhile, Minnesota Wild is in the second spot of the Central Division, also remarking as the second-best offensive of their Division with 66 scored goals. Additionally, it must be highlighted that this will be their third consecutive away game, so Kirill Kaprizov is expected to reappear with a big impact on this game after not being able to score during their latest victory over Edmonton Oilers (3-5).
