Wild update: RW Mats Zuccarello returned to the lineup on Thursday after sitting out the previous game with an upper-body injury; he played 20 minutes, 24 seconds vs. Toronto and registered one shot on net. The Wild power play went 0-for-4 that game and has scored just once in 10 opportunities on this road trip. RW Matt Boldy has seven points over his last six games. His line with LW Kevin Fiala and C Frederick Gaudreau combined for 12 shots against the Maple Leafs, almost half of the Wild's total output (30). Fiala has three goals and three assists during a three-game point streak.
Flames update: Calgary's 7-1 loss at Vancouver on Thursday was its first since Jan. 27; the 10-game win streak tied the franchise record. Overall, the Flames are 13-8-3 vs. the Western Conference. G Jacob Markstrom leads the NHL in shutouts with eight. LW Johnny Gaudreau's 64 points are the most on the team, while LW Andrew Mangiapane's 26 goals are tops for the Flames. Calgary picked up W Tyler Toffoli from Montreal last week, giving up a first-round pick, two players and two late-round draft choices.
After letting 135-footer bounce in early, Fleury steadied himself in 5-3 victory.
