Calgary Flames former forward Sean Monahan Best Free Agency Bargain According to THN Panel The Calgary Flames [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/calgary-flames/] (23-16-7) will travel to face two of the top teams in the Central Division over the weekend. First, they draw the Minnesota Wild (28-16-4) at Xcel Energy Center on Saturday night. In the year's first meeting on Nov. 23, the Flames pulled out a 4-3 shootout win at the Saddledome thanks to Rasmus Andersson netting the winner in the fifth shootout round. The Flames are 6-4-0 in their last ten games, recently defeating the Buffalo Sabres at home on Thursday night. Meanwhile, the Wild (5-5-0) were just shut out by the Utah Hockey Club 4-0 two nights ago. BETWEEN THE PIPES Dustin Wolf [https://www.nhl.com/player/8481692] will look to continue the momentum he's built up over the last two games, wins over the Winnipeg Jets and Sabres, when he faces future Hall of Famer Marc-Andre Fleury on Saturday night. Moreover, he'll look for a bounceback performance against the Wild. He made a relief appearance against them last season, giving up two goals on 13 shots in 38:30 of action. Meanwhile, Fleury is getting his fifth start in the past eight games. He's having a resurgence recently, producing a 3-1-0 record with a .940 SV%. Saturday night will mark his 24th career start against the Flames. Fleury has a 14-7-1 record versus Calgary, including a 2.12 GAA and .931 SV% with five shutouts.
