Calgary's hardest stretch of games by far is over. A new coach, a brutal road trip with 6 games in 9 nights, 7 back to back games by November (!), and they have already played the Blackhawks 3 times, and their star player was hurt for 3 weeks. They are playing Arizona 3 times this month, and have 5 back to back games the rest of the year. they only have one back to back game after January.

They were real poor to start the year, with Gaudreau and Monahan also missing training camp. I think at this point, now that the team has gone 8-3 beating some pretty good teams, along with most of these on the road, it's fair to say the adjustment period is over, and I think we finally get to see the real team we know is here.
