It’s the annual dad’s trip for the Calgary Flames (21-17-5, 47 points), and the Flames players have fathers and other male mentors in tow for a couple road games. First, the Flames hit the Twin Cities to face the Minnesota Wild (20-17-5, 45 points), who are playing their second game in as many days.
The action begins just after 5 p.m. MT on Sportsnet West (and the other regional channels) and Sportsnet 960 The Fan.
