At the Flames current rate of 29 points in 20 games would get them to 119, so even if they fall off a little they'll still get close to 110+ points.

3 losses in regulation in 20 games is quite good even impressive.

I think getting off to a good/hot start like the Flames have done so far is critical to success in the season. It's just too hard to catch up if you fall behind even 6-8 points even at the midway point in the season.

The Flames are also currently all healthy (knock on wood) so that's even more important that they got off to this great start. There will be some bumps and a losing streak or 2 even, it happens. That's why you have to collect as many points as possible when the team is playing well which is what the Flames are doing.
