Bruce Boudreau announced that Matt Dumba is likely to miss at least a week with an upper body injury after leaving Saturday's game late in the first period.
It appears that the Flames got what they wanted in more ways than one on Saturday. It was clear from the start that they were targeting Dumba following his big hit on Backlund the week before.
It will be a while before the two teams meet again on March 2nd in Calgary, but you can guarantee that the memories will be fresh in the minds of both teams.
The Wild may have their captain back when they conclude their four game home stand tomorrow night when they host San Jose.
It has not been decided if Nate Prosser will slot in for the injured Dumba or if they recall Ryan Murphy from Iowa. Murphy would help to fill the void on the powerplay with Dumba out.
