I'm not as certain on the flames finishing bottom 3... Not because they won 2 games and that means the rebuild is over and the flames are a now powerhouse... But because all teams tend to go through stretches of good play and bad. The flames have for through a long bad stretch and have dropped in the standings because of it. The islanders and panthers both had a strong run of 10-15 games and are likely going to come back down to earth while the flames might put a winning record together over the next 10 games or so.
