This is a playoff team skewed by a really poor start under a new coach. While I still have issues with Gulutzan's approach and I feel like the team can be fragile, there is no question they are playing better defensively.
The best thing is that other teams have caught up in games played, yet Calgary is still in front.
Whether or not they make the playoffs remains to be seen, but it will be very close. Hearing some comments in some of the GDT, especially the Coyotes game, you would never know that the Flames were 7-2-1
