Wild look for rare win in Calgary

Jan 22, 2008 - 3:55 PM Minnesota (27-18-3) at Calgary (24-17-8) 9:00 pm EST

CALGARY, Alberta (Ticker) -- Having moved into first place in the Northwest Division, the Minnesota Wild look for a rare road win against the Calgary Flames on Tuesday night.

The Wild, who are coming off a 4-2 win in Vancouver on Monday, have only one victory in their last 12 visits to Calgary.

The Flames are only one point behind Minnesota. Including the Canucks and Colorado Avalanche, four teams in the highly competitive division are separated by just two points.

Pierre-Marc Bouchard scored two goals and set up two others on Monday for the Wild, who snapped a two-game losing streak. Minnesota has won three straight on the road.

Bouchard, a 23-year-old right wing, has 10 goals and a team-leading 32 assists this season.

The Flames are looking for their third straight win, a streak that started with a 3-2 shootout victory in Minnesota on Wednesday. Jarome Iginla had an assist and scored the game-winner in a shootout.

Iginla, the captain of the Western Conference All-Star squad, leads Calgary with 32 tallies and 63 points. He is just one point behind Tampa Bay Lightning center Vincent Lecavalier, captain of the Eastern team, for the league lead in points.

The Flames have won five of their previous six meetings with the Wild.
