The Calgary Flames showed a lot of character battling back from a 3-0 deficit at home against Boston on Monday, and they've now won five of their last six home games. The Flames host the Minnesota Wild tonight, a team that is trying to catch them in the standings. Minnesota has lost it's last two road games, yet the price is more than reasonable to back the Flames at home tonight.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Home Cookin' - The Flames boast a solid home record of 17-11-1, while the Wild have a losing record on the road, going 12-14-1 away from Minnesota. While the Wild have been racking up a lot of wins lately, they've had a favorable schedule with five of their last seven games coming at home in Minnesota.

2. Devan Dubnyk - He's been standing on his head since coming over from the Coyotes, posting a record of 7-1-0 with a 1.31 GAA in his first nine starts for Minnesota. He's surrendered six goals in his last two starts though, and with a career record of 80-84, 2.80 GAA, it's likely only a matter of time before he comes crashing back to earth.

3. X-Factor - The Flames lead the league with 10 wins when trailing after two periods. "I don't know what to say anymore. Those guys never quit," said coach Bob Hartley.

Selection: This is a free play on the Calgary Flames
