The Wild stumbled on the road last week, dropping three in a row, but the team has a chance to reset at home on Tuesday against the same opponent that put an exclamation point on the Wild's current skid.
"We still believe in each other," winger Kevin Fiala said. "There's no panic at all, just so you guys know. We will be back for sure."
After blitzing the Wild 7-3 on Saturday, the Flames are at Xcel Energy Center for the rematch.
This is the second of three regular season meeting between the Western Conference rivals, with Calgary also scheduled to play at Minnesota on April 28.
"Back at home, there's nothing else you can ask for," winger Brandon Duhaime said. "Obviously, we weren't happy with the last performance. Get the same team. It's going to be a very different game tonight. I think they're expecting it, and we're going to bring a different game."
Cam Talbot backed up Kaapo Kahkonen on Saturday, but now it's his turn to face off against the Flames — his former team.
In 2019-20, Talbot went 12-10-1 with a 2.63 goals-against average and .919 save percentage in 26 games with Calgary. The following offseason, the Wild signed Talbot to a three-year, $11 million contract.
"It is going to be a big game not only for myself but the team in general," said Talbot, who hasn't played since a 4-3 loss at Ottawa last Tuesday. "We obviously weren't happy with how the road trip ended off, but we obviously love playing at home. We love playing in front of our fans and a good way to get back on track here."
