The Coach's NHL SURE SHOT
(NHL) Calgary vs. Minnesota,
Money Line: -170.00 Minnesota (Home)
Result: Win
The Minnesota Wild will be looking to complete the season sweep against the Calgary Flames as the two Western Conference foes clash at Xcel Energy Center tonight. Both teams are still fighting to make the playoffs, but the hosts have been way hotter of late and I think they'll prevail in this match-up.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Calgary's Style Of Hockey - Calgary has entertained hockey fans all over the country this season, spicing up the somewhat boring regular season grind with fascinating back-and-forth games often coming from behind to take down the points. With the playoffs around the corner team's are playing more disciplined, not allowing the Flames to make those stunning comebacks. They've won only two of their last six games, both against teams with virtually no shot of making the post-season.

2. Home Cookin' - The Wild have won nine of their last 13 in their own building and four of the last five meetings with the Flames in Minnesota.

3. X-Factor - The Wild's star netminder Devan Dubnyk is 8-2-2 with a 1.82 GAA in his last 12 starts against the Flames.

Selection: This is a play on the Minnesota Wild (8*)
