Preview: The Wild, which ended a three-game losing streak with a 2-1 overtime victory over Nashville on Saturday, heads to Calgary, where it has lost two in a row. This is the first meeting between the teams this season; they will see each other two more times in February. The Flames' 5-1 loss Saturday in Vancouver broke a two-game winning streak.
