02/28/2007 - (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Calgary Flames and Minnesota Wild will battle each other for Western Conference playoff positioning tonight, when they face off at the Saddledome.
The Flames and Wild are currently knotted at 75 points for the seventh spot in the West standings. They are also each two points behind San Jose for sixth place in the conference and two points in back of Vancouver for the Northwest Division lead.
Calgary and the Wild have split four meetings this season and the home club has won six straight and 10 of the last 12 encounters between the teams. The Flames have taken eight of the last 11 overall matchups with Minnesota and the Wild are just 0-7-1 (7 losses, 1 tie) in their last eight trips to the Saddledome.
The Wild, who are 8-2-1 in February, are aiming for their fourth consecutive victory tonight. They were last in action on Sunday against visiting Edmonton and posted a 4-1 victory. Pierre-Marc Bouchard had a goal and an assist to lead Minnesota past the Oilers at Xcel Energy Center.
Todd White, Brent Burns and Marian Gaborik each tallied markers for the Wild, while Niklas Backstrom stopped 19-of-20 shots in the win.
Minnesota made a minor deal before Tuesday's trade deadline, picking up center Dominic Moore from the Pittsburgh Penguins Tuesday in exchange for a third- round pick in the 2007 draft. Moore has six goals and nine assists in 59 games with the Penguins this season.
Tonight marks the beginning of a three-game road trip for the Wild, who are just 13-18-1 as the visiting club this year.
Meanwhile, the Flames are capping a three-game homestand tonight. Calgary has won four of its last five tests at the Saddledome and is an amazing 26-6-1 as the host this season.
The Flames are 2-0 on the current stand and have outscored their opponents, 12-6, in those games. They defeated Vancouver, 7-4, on Saturday before beating the Phoenix Coyotes, 5-2, on Monday night.
Wayne Primeau led the way in the latest triumph, scoring two goals to help down the Coyotes. David Moss, Kristian Huselius and Andrei Zyuzin each had a goal for the Flames and Jamie McLennan made 30 saves.
Calgary tried to bolster its blueline on Tuesday by nabbing defenseman David Hale and a fifth-round pick in the 2007 draft from the New Jersey Devils in exchange for a third-round pick in 2007. Hale has posted one assist and 26 penalty minutes in 43 games for the Devils this season.
