This site shows the Flames at an 11-8 record in 1 goal games which isn't great, but that's also including a bunch of high scoring games (6-5, etc) so not really a playoff predictor

If you just look at regulation (so OT games either way count as ties), we were 14-15-6 in <=5 goal games, including the last 2 games of the year. I don't put a lot of stock into those last 2, but that's still basically .500 in the lowest scoring 35 games of the year.
We were also 5-1 in 6 goal games, 9-3-4 in 7 goal games, 5-3 in 8 goal games, 6-1-1 in 9 goal games, and 6-2-1 in 10+ goal games.
