D T.J. Brodie
C Mikko Koivu
Two points in two
games prior to the
Boston debacle
and an impressive
even plus-minus
stat in that 9-0 tilt
despite playing
25 minutes.
When he went
down to injury, it
was a huge hit.
The Wild captain is
back and has put
up points in nine
of his last
11 outings.

The Flames
have won
the last two
meetings, the latest a tight 2-1 clash just
before Christmas at the Saddledome.
That victory is one of only two in the last
eight meetings at home, a skid which
dates back to December 2009.
