It's had an effect, but the overall impact has the differential better.
Before Dec 5th the Flames were 9.3/8.0 + 1.3
After Dec 5th the Flames are 8.9/7.2 + 1.7
They've gone from average in preventing to elite, and have gone from elite in generating to above average.
To put that in perspective, +1.3 would be 6th overall in the NHL to date, +1.7 is 2nd overall behind only Dallas.
The Flames on the season as a whole are +1.5 and 5th (essentially tied for 2nd)
