“After the Whistle: Discover Which NHL Teams Are on Fire and Who’s Struggling in the Post-Deadline Shuffle!”
17. Calgary Flames, 34-26-11
Last week: 19
Mirtle rank: 16
Dayal rank: 17
The Flames had won four in a row going into Thursday’s loss against the Stars, and they gave Dallas a good push in piling up 48 shots. Is that enough to bump them up two spots? Apparently! Dustin Wolf has shown his first signs of a little wear lately, and Calgary smartly went to backup Dan Vladar for two wins in New York as part of a first-ever franchise sweep of the three teams there. The Flames have two games left against the Sharks and two more against the Ducks, so there’s a path here for them to still sneak in. But St. Louis’ red-hot run has certainly made that much more daunting.
