With franchise-tying win streak in sight, Flames still strive for consistency
But the fact that the Flames are the stingiest team in the 32-team loop right now — having allowed a league low 113 goals, thanks partially to the netminding of Jacob Markstrom and, to a lesser extent, back-up Dan Vladar — helps.
On the other side, they’ve become one of the more prolific teams in the NHL, Western Conference and Pacific Division by scoring 166 goals in 48 games.
Red-hot Flames look for 10th straight win
The Calgary Flames can match the longest winning streak in franchise history when they host the Winnipeg Jets on Monday afternoon.
The Flames have won nine in a row to move atop the Pacific Division standings.
Calgary has won 10 straight games twice in team history. The then-Atlanta Flames accomplished the feat during the 1978-79 season, while Calgary also won 10 in a row during the 2016-17 campaign.
