The entire team is comprised of second/third line players and second-pairing defensemen. Unlike every other team in the league the Knights have mid-level talent distributed throughout the lineup. So, while their top line is not on the same level as a lot of other teams, their lower lines are MUCH better. They are also very well coached, and it looks like McPhee has done a masterful job of instilling a strong team culture throughout that carries over onto the ice.
Also, maybe the Flames broke TB the last time the rolled through town. They have not been great in their last two games.
