...I would think if they can come out of this month with 16 of the 26 pts available, they will be in very good shape to finish on top of the division and likely the conference as March sets up for some real success as well.

Good news, friends!
The Flames enter Game #13 of a tough month with a 7-3-2 record. They will finish at worst with a possible 16 of 26 pts, which is identical to transplant99's hopeful prediction on 29 January. That is a 0.615 winning percentage, which is well above Duffalufagus's expectation from 31 January that 0.550 would be enough to win the Division.
This sets the Flames in excellent shape for the final five weeks of the season, and leaves them as very heavy favourites to win the Pacific.
What a fantastic team.
