Update on team differentials:
Interesting to see the Flames move into the unsustainable group to an extent ... moved up in the standings three spots in the last five days while moving down in metrics the same.

Buffalo has now lost five straight, one my picks in the top ten in standings that shouldn't hold up. Anaheim continues to win on Gibson.
Toronto amazing offensive metrics and the skill to finish, while giving up way too much. I do wonder if that bites them in the ass.
