Minnesota Wild vs Calgary Flames Prediction: Will the Wilds succeed again?

Prediction for the NHL Minnesota Wild vs Calgary Flames match, which will take place on March 8. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Minnesota Wild

Minnesota has been showing great hockey this season, and most importantly, it's not stopping there. The Wild are progressing and improving from game to game, improving their standings. They are fifth in the West and second in the Central Division, sitting comfortably in the playoff spot with 78 points. They have also been excellent in their previous nine meetings, picking up eight wins with only one loss outside regulation time. In the last one, Minnesota beat Calgary 3:0.

Calgary Flames

Calgary is only tenth in the Western Conference standings and fifth in the Pacific Division standings with 69 points. The Flames can hardly take credit for this season, considering how they've performed in the past. The Flames could miss the playoffs, which would be a failure altogether. That's unsurprising since Calgary had a streak of five straight losses before last week's game. Last game, they finally broke it by beating Dallas 5:4.

Expert Betting Tips

Minnesota is playing for results. They won't please their fans with a lot of scoring, but thanks to very competent play on defense, they still manage to post one win after another. Now the Wild look noticeably better than the Flames, whom they beat in the previous game. And Calgary itself, between these meetings, had time to fight with Dallas. We think that the home team will once again be able to deal with the visitors. We bet on their final win (including overtime and the shootout).
