Calgary Flames vs Minnesota Wild Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 01/29/26

The Calgary Flames are traveling to Minnesota to face the Wild for the third and final matchup of the season. In the couple of previous meetings between these teams, both sides combined for a total of 7 goals. The Flames currently hold the title for the lowest-scoring team in the NHL, which explains their difficulties in finding the back of the net. Devin Cooley has been confirmed as the starting goalie and has been exceptional this season, boasting a 1.98 goals-against average (GAA) and a .925 save percentage (SV%) on the road. He has earned the opportunity to play regularly and gives his team a solid chance to win.

The Wild feature a lot of elite talent, but they will face a challenge in this matchup. Their power play ranks in the top 10 for efficiency, but the Flames have one of the best penalty kills in the league. Filip Gustavsson will start in goal; although he has allowed 3 or more goals in 4 consecutive games, this matchup still looks favorable on paper. He will be a key factor in the outcome of the game. We can trust the Wild to score enough goals to secure a victory while also limiting the Flames’ opportunities. Therefore, we’re taking the Under and hoping for a goaltending battle.
