📋 Things You Should Know – Wild vs. Flames Pregame Rundown

🔥 Playoff Implications: A win tonight and the Wild clinch a playoff berth — simple as that. It’s Minnesota’s most important game of the season so far. The Flames are in must-win mode to stay alive, and it’s setting up like a playoff preview.

📦 Zeev is Coming: The Wild are expected to sign top prospect Zeev Buium as soon as Denver’s NCAA tournament run ends. The Hobey Baker finalist could join the NHL roster by the regular season finale. Massive defensive upside.

🖊️ Riley Heidt Signed: 2023 second-round pick Riley Heidt officially inked his entry-level deal this week. He’s been lighting it up in the WHL and will join Iowa on an amateur tryout.

🛡️ Middleton on the Mend: Jake Middleton skated in practice this week and is traveling with the team. He’s not in tonight, but could be back before the final regular-season game — big news for Minnesota’s blueline depth.

🧊 Same Flames, No Shuffle: Calgary coach Ryan Huska is not tweaking his lineup, despite the urgency. That means the Wild know exactly what they’re up against — and have the fresher legs.
