| The Flames boast the biggest thorn in the Wild’s skate in Jarome Iginla. The Flames’ captain is the all-time leader against the Wild in points (64), goals (35), and shots (223), is second in games played (68) and PPG (10) and first with a plus-18 rating. The Flames will be without Miikka Kiprusoff, who is out with a lower body injury. 24-year-old Leland Irving, who has played in three games this season, will be in net for Calgary. |
Maybe you’d like to test your luck with a little 50/50 raffle. Even if you don’t win, it’s for a good cause, as all profits from the 50/50 draws go to the Flames Foundation for Life – an organization with the sole mandate of giving back to the community. The Wild will wear its WHITE road sweaters tonight. |

| Scoring in one game isn’t typically something anyone would consider a hot streak, but Devin Setoguchi has been playing well of late. Yes, he did score the game winner in overtime against Nashville, but he also managed five shots on goal. After being demoted to the fourth line, Setoguchi has registered eight shots in his last three games, many from in close around the net area, a place he has been visiting more often of late. Hopefully his first goal will get the ball rolling for Seto. Fans can guess who's going to be hot with the Wild's HotBox Fantasy Challenge for a chance to win great prizes. |

| This is a clean slate. I don't care what happened the first 10 games or whatever. We're not for making excuses, but at the same time, there was no training camp and there was no exhibition. It takes some guys a little time to get going. That's a real thing. Let's hope this is the point where we start to take off. - Yeo after Saturday night’s win against Nashville |
Forwards Matt Kassian and Torrey Mitchell will be tonight’s healthy scratches, along with defenseman Marco Scandella. Jared Spurgeon is on Injured Reserve with a lower body injury. |
