Hovering around the .500 mark, the Calgary Flames face an uphill climb to the playoffs
If you throw out that first 10 games, the Flames are a team that captures points at a .556 clip – a 91.2 point pace. The Athletic projects the playoff cutline in the Western Conference at around 89-90 points. The team currently occupying the final wild card spot in the West, the St. Louis Blues, have a .556 points percentage. If you throw out the first 10 games, the Flames are a team that should be very much in the playoff mix, and it’s that standard of play that feeds optimism about the current edition.
5 Things - Flames vs. Jets
2. Know Your Enemy
We’re still about eight weeks from the spring dance, but with the fireworks we saw Saturday?
Consider this the opening bell.
In a battle between two of the NHL’s top teams, the Jets – led by their cornerstone pivot, Mark Scheifele – knocked off the Vancouver Canucks 4-2 on Saturday at Rogers Arena.
Scheifele had a goal and three helpers to lead the way, while fellow top-liners Gabe Vilardi (2G, 1A) and Kyle Connor (2A) were equally clutch, and former Flame Sean Monahan nabbed his first as a Jet in the victory.
A playoff-style one, at that.
