Same 4-2-0 record, but goal differential is now 23-18 vs. 17-17 last season. With points from defense being about the same, you can already see a pretty direct correlation between improved forward depth and improved scoring / goal differential.
That's definitely a good sign.

Good post. As much as we all wanted more goals, IMO it's more important to have a good overall goal differential. Playoffs teams are very rarely even when it comes to goals for and against. Good teams have a substantial + differential. The Flames have been cursed for a while with having bad goal differentials. It's nice to see them so far being on the plus side.
