Wild hope for revenge against Kiprusoff, Flames

Mar 29, 2007 - 2:29 PM Calgary (41-25-10) at Minnesota (45-24-8) 8:00 pm EDT

ST. PAUL, Minnesota (Ticker) -- The Minnesota Wild already have punched their ticket to the Western Conference playoffs. Miikka Kiprusoff and the Calgary Flames hope to join them soon.

The surging Wild look to exact a measure of revenge Thursday when they host the Flames in the finale of a two-game series between the Northwest Division rivals.

Despite Tuesday's 1-0 shootout loss here to the Flames, Minnesota clinched a postseason berth and is tied with Dallas (46-24-6) and San Jose (47-26-4) for fifth in the conference.

The loss snapped a franchise-record nine-game winning streak for the Wild, who fell to 3-2-2 against Calgary this season.

Like Minnesota, the Flames have been rolling of late, winning four consecutive games and climbing seven points ahead of Colorado (39-30-7) for the conference's eighth and final postseason berth.

The reigning Vezina Trophy winner, Kiprusoff made 38 saves to record his seventh shutout. Alex Tanguay netted the winning tally in the shootout for Calgary, which improved to 2-0 on its four-game road trip.
