That PK% is going to be very important down the stretch because the Flames haven't been very disciplined.

And they say with good teams you can add the PK and PP percentages and the sum should equate to over 100. Obviously the more over that mark, the better the team generally.
109.6% is pretty solid to start.
for reference, here are PP+PK sums in recent seasons:

2016/17: 101.8

Hartley
2015/16: 92.5 (30th PK year)
2014/15: 99.5
2013/14: 97.4
2012/13: 101.5 (shortened year)
