First 20 games:
CF 44.4%
PDO 103.1
Points/game 1.30

21 games since:
CF 44.2%
PDO 98.8
Points/game .905

As expected, the Flames hit a PDO rut while possession stayed about the same. As a result, points dropped drastically.

Halfway point:
CF 44.3%
PDO 100.9

I think both possession and PDO, when viewed as a total after 41 games, are representative of what the Flames are. Backlund returning and healthy should help possession somewhat but there's only so much he can do. He will certainly help the PK, he's an elite PKer. I see the Flames taking 42-45 points the rest of the way, falling short of the playoffs but exceeding pre-season expectations.
