From December 15th to today the Flames are the 8th best team in hockey playing at a .692 win percentage.
They keep that up and they're a playoff team.
But ...
In that time frame they've scored 4 more goals than they were expected and their goaltenders have saved 12 more goals than expected.
They have the 5th best PDO in that time frame at 1.038.
Save percentage is ranked #4
Shooting percentage is ranked #9
The Flames are on a heater, especially Markstrom, but not sure it's a sustainable pace to get back into things.
Will be fun if I'm wrong though.
I'm all for trading Lindholm, either signing Hanifin or not, trading Tanev, and making the playoffs anyway.
But I doubt Markstrom can keep this up for 60 games.
