Carolina is 7-3-1 to start the year, and it's not smoke and mirrors. They are 3rd in the league in key advanced metrics like Corsi%, Fenwick%, XGF%, and High danger chances for %.
That being said, the Flames haven't been too bad in those categories either, but their PDO has sunk their record somewhat, along with giving up a lot of high danger chances against.
The Hurricanes are for real. I hope the Flames are ready for puck drop. It would be really nice to see Gaudreau have a dominant presence in a game for once.
