Looking at the game log it seems like October definitely was the weakest PK month. 4 of the 6 games in which they allowed 2 goals were in October (the others being the odd Dec 29 Sharks game and the recent Bruins loss). In January they've been good.

It's also worth mentioning that the margins are slim. 1% improvement (to 80%) puts Calgary from 21st to 17th place and 2% improvement would put in 13th.

Also, if you consider the shorties as set off against goals allowed on the PK, the Flames then go to only 19 net PK goals against (in 162 opportunities), which is something like 89%. Now, you'd have to similarly adjust all other teams (AZ would come out way ahead) but I suspect Calgary's net total would be near the top of the league.
