The Flames have a worse record than they did at this exact point last year (luckily, the Pacific is awful), but the Flames' 2018-2019 skaters seem much stronger than their 2017-2018 skaters. I am very excited to see how Rittich performs over a long run of games because I think the Flames have the skaters to win playoff roundS. If Rittich proves he is a legitimate starter, then my hopes will be very high indeed with how terrible the Pacific division is.
