KEY GAME INFORMATION
MINNESOTA: LAST SEASON: 43-27-12, 98 points. Lost to Chicago 4-2 in Western Conference semifinals after beating Colorado 4-3 in first round.
COACH: Mike Yeo, fourth season, 104-82-26.
ADDED: LW Thomas Vanek, LW Brett Sutter, D Justin Falk, D Stu Bickel.
LOST: RW Dany Heatley, LW Matt Moulson, D Clayton Stoner, C Cody McCormick, LW Mike Rupp.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Vanek signed a three-year, $19.5 million contract with the Wild after spending his first nine NHL seasons in the Eastern Conference, primarily with Buffalo. Vanek will be counted on for a scoring boost for a team that tied for 24th in the NHL in goals per game, but with Zach Parise and former Sabres teammate Jason Pominville among the top six forwards the onus is not all on him.
OUTLOOK: After advancing past the first round for only the second time in franchise history with a dramatic upset of the Central Division champion Avalanche, the Wild are on track for more with the addition of Vanek and the development of young forwards Mikael Granlund, Charlie Coyle, Erik Haula and Nino Niederreiter. The goalie situation is the biggest concern, with Niklas Backstrom and Darcy Kuemper returning as the top two after an injury-laden season at the position that forced the Wild to give four different players 19 starts or more in the net.
CALGARY: LAST SEASON: 35-40-7, 77 points, finished 13th in the Western Conference and missed the playoffs.
COACH: Bob Hartley, fourth season with Calgary, 383-291-61-45 overall.
ADDED: LW Brandon Bollig, D Deryk Engelland, G Jonas Hiller, LW Mason Raymond.
LOST: D Chris Butler, LW Mike Cammalleri.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Johnny Gaudreau. Offense was a major issue for the Flames, who finished 23rd and 24th, respectively, in goals per game (2.46) and power play percentage (15.7). Gaudreau, the reigning Hobey Baker winner, recorded 80 points (36 goals and 44 assists) in 40 games with Boston College.
OUTLOOK: With the possible exception of John Tortorella, who attempted to fight his way into the Calgary dressing room during the first intermission of a Jan. 18 game in Vancouver to ostensibly express his displeasure about a line brawl following the opening faceoff, Hartley and the Flames earned praise around the NHL for their hardworking style of play. Even with the addition of Gaudreau and friends to the lineup, don't expect the Flames to change their modus operandi. But it's too much to ask the Flames to compete for a playoff berth.

*Wild-Flames Preview* =====================

By JACK CASSIDY STATS Writer

Minnesota (21-20-6) at Calgary (26-19-3), 9:00 p.m. EDT

The Calgary Flames' surprising first half has them in the thick of a competitive Western Conference playoff race.

Behind the talents of rookie Johnny Gaudreau, the Flames will look to keep pace Thursday night when they face the Minnesota Wild in the second of a six-game homestand.

After representing Calgary (26-19-3) at last weekend's All-Star festivities, Gaudreau emerged from the break to score twice in a 4-1 win over Buffalo on Tuesday.

The goals gave Gaudreau 15, tying him for the team lead with Sean Monahan and moving him into third place among rookies behind Filip Forsberg of Nashville and Ottawa's Mike Hoffman, who each have 16.

"Just being around the guys that were in that locker room this weekend, it's exciting for me to be a part of that," Gaudreau said. "Now I'm excited for the second half of the season."

The 21-year-old's top performances have translated into nothing but success for the Flames, who are 9-0-0 when he records at least two points.

Monahan and Jiri Hudler, Gaudreau's linemates, have been equally vital to the Flames. Monahan can extend his point streak to a career-best six games while Hudler, tied for the team lead with 41 points, assisted on both of Gaudreau's goals Tuesday.

"Playing with (Hudler) and (Monahan), those are two skilled guys," Gaudreau said. "It's hard not to create offensive chances when you're playing with two guys like that. We're making plays in the offensive zone."

Jonas Hiller was 0-3-0 with a 3.81 goals-against average in his previous four appearances before stopping 17 shots, and he'll get the nod Thursday as well. He's 11-5-1 with a 2.31 GAA in 17 starts against the Wild.

Minnesota (21-20-6) came out of the break on a good note with a 2-1 victory in Edmonton on Tuesday. Still, coach Mike Yeo sees needed improvement for his last-place team.

"Puck management was poor tonight. Very poor," Yeo said. "We pride ourselves on being a team that can defend well, but when you turn pucks over like that, you're not in a position to defend."

Minnesota had dropped eight of its previous 10, and excluding a 7-0 win against Buffalo on Jan. 15, had scored 18 goals over that span while allowing 37.

The Wild rank near the bottom of the league with 2.89 goals allowed per game.

Devan Dubnyk stopped 23 shots to bounce back after he was pulled in the second period of his previous start Jan. 20. He owns a 2.04 GAA in five games since being acquired from Arizona on Jan. 14, and has been the top option after Darcy Kuemper was sent to Iowa of the AHL for a conditioning assignment and Niklas Backstrom going 0-5-2 with a 4.12 GAA over his last eight appearances.

Minnesota sits ahead of only Edmonton and Arizona in the West but is just seven points behind the Flames for the second wild-card spot.

The Wild are 6-2-1 in the last nine meetings, beating visiting Calgary 3-2 in the last one March 3.
