My memory on the dates could be a slightly bit off. But basically sometime in the first week of February, the top 6 went right back to what we saw today and this team looked absolutely automatic in scoring. I feel pretty confident in saying the real Flames could be back now if they stay healthy and with Markstrom in net. This regular season though, playoffs could be a different story; but that's for another day.

I don’t think your dates are correct at all.  In 2019-20 the Flames started off with the usual G-M-L line.  Lindholm was never apart from Gaudreau at all.  Quarters 2 and 3 he still played with them, but they also tried him down the middle with Tkachuk a small amount of the time, with Backlund moved to RW.  At the end they went back to full time G-M-L.  And Lindholm and Gaudreau’s production actually was about the same the whole year.  Monahan’s dipped in Q3 pretty badly.
