Minnesota Wild vs Calgary Flames Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 12/04/25

Thursday night in the NHL brings us a Western Conference matchup between the Minnesota Wild and Calgary Flames. These two met back in early November in a 2-0 Wild win, so the Flames will be looking for payback here. Considering Calgary has been playing surprisingly well as of late, it may just do just that. Here is our Wild vs. Flames prediction.

The Minnesota Wild have clearly been the hottest team in the NHL. They are an astonishing 11-0-2 in their last 13 games, which includes taking down league leaders like the Colorado Avalanche, Carolina Hurricanes, and Anaheim Ducks. Calgary is 5-3-2 over its last 10 games which is good for its standards, but this should be one of Minnesota’s easier opponents during this current run. Young Flames studs Sam Honzek and Zayne Parekh, as well as depth forward Martin Pospisil, are out long-term with injuries, hindering an already shallow team. They are a disappointing 9-15-4 overall, which has them last in the NHL. The level of firepower, momentum, and morale does not compare with these teams right now. Minnesota is just too hot and has much more to play for in a challenging Central Division, so I don’t expect to give up this opportunity. For our Wild vs. Flames prediction, take Minnesota on the money line.
