The slumping Minnesota Wild, winless in four games, will switch to Josh Harding as starting goaltender tonight in a game against the Flames in Calgary. It will be Harding's first start since he injured his neck Dec. 6. Niklas Backstrom has been playing goal for the Wild but had a tough outing Monday night and was yanked after two periods in the Wild's 4-0 loss to the Canucks in Vancouver. The Wild's decision to use Backstrom on Monday night instead of tonight surprised many in the know as Backstrom is 5-0 in his last six in Calgary with a 0.52 goals against average and .984 save percentage and hasn't been scored on there in 125-plus minutes.
