Big 2 points that game. I don't really look at the standing much before the Christmas break, but took a peek and was surprised they are tied point wise for that last spot. Considering the way they have played and the 7 and 5 game losing streaks that they have had, I thought they would be farther out. If they win their 2 games in hand, they can be tied with LA, who are sitting 2nd in the division.
The Flames didn't really have to battle through much adversity last season, so a couple bumps along the way really can't be unexpected. That being said, the defensive situation is starting to worry me.
