Are they running away with it with top 10 goaltending though? You can't expect a repeat of least season in net every year, so with that it isn't as substantial of a difference as you'd expect.
Over the last 30ish games, the Flames are sitting 15th in GA - the 6th ranked team over that span has allowed only 5 more goals (80 v 75). Those 5 goals might equate to 2 wins depending how you look at it. They might also equate to nothing.
For me, it's the odd softie (mainly by Markstrom) that is killing them this year, which wasn't happening last season. But at the same time, there are also breakdowns and a lack of finish on the PP killing them as well.
