So with the Flames at 42 games played, there are exactly 40 games left in the season.

If you broke the first two into 21 game segments for convenience the Flames started out 12-3-6 for 30 points in those 21 games.

They followed it up with an 11-9-1 record in the next 21 for total of 23 points.

That said, this last 20 was extremely disruptive with the the Covid outbreak and all those cancellations, which resulted in a lot more road games being pulled foward.

After the first 20 or so, my thought was that would be the best 20 or so game stretch of the season and the team would likely pull back a bit. I think the 23 they just achieved is pretty close to the floor given what they dealt with.

This next set of games should allow the team to get into a rhythm playing regularly again, and the chance to establish a home ice advantage, even though it's still not known what capacity restrictions will be in place, and if we see a full dome again this season. Still I think being at home and in a routine with last change will let the team establish a more consistent identity at home.

My prediction is that the Flames go 11-6-3 in the next 20. Good for 25 points, and will be at 77 after 62 games.
