Over the same 16-game period (4 Nov–4 Dec) the Flames rank 18th in a seven-way tie for points (17), 17th in goals scored (35), 24th in goals against (40), 10th in shots (447), and 24th in shots allowed (474).
It should be noted that the Flames currently rank 20th in goals/game (2.46), and 23rd in goals against/game (2.89).
However, in the last 10-game stretch (18 Nov-4 Dec) the Flames are 2nd in points (13), 3rd in goals scored (28), 20th in goals against (22), 8th in shots (279), and 29th in shots allowed (316). The powerplay has ranked 13th (20%), and the penalty kill is also 13th (83.3%).
Overall it is still not great, but it is improving and looks a hell of a lot better than it did a month ago.
