I don't actually think this level of play is sustainable. If the Flames' play the rest of the season at .500 I will be thrilled. If they are sub-.500 then I won't be too surprised. Reason being...

1. Injuries keep piling up. We're missing more than half our top-six.
2. Call-ups are likely playing above their heads (Jooris, Granlund).
3. If IRs return to the roster, they likely won't be able to keep up the momentum.
4. Our top-four on defense needs to stay healthy. Wideman and Russel have injury histories. Giordano just took a stick to the eye last game.

Considering we went into this season as McDavid favorites, this has been a nice surprise.
