No team will be able to 'keep it up' playing without the puck as much as Calgary did early.
TSN rankings solid... and suggested exactly that: That the Flames couldn't keep winning while defending all the time. This is pretty obvious.
The Flames have played with the puck a lot more, recently.

While the Flames have been asking a lot of their goaltenders, they've been getting better in that respect. Since getting outshot 50-18 in a 2-1 overtime win against Chicago on October 15, the Flames have carried 55.6% of the unblocked shot attempts in score close situations. Small samples and all that, but if it's any kind of relief for Jonas Hiller and Karri Ramo, then maybe the Flames can sustain some of this success.
