Since the Calgary Inferno had their last home game way back in early December, the CWHL standings have gotten a bit tighter. Calgary remains right at the top, having accrued a 14-2-2 record and 30 points over 18 games, but their standings lead is by no means comfortable.
It's a three-way race now, as Les Canadiennes have 28 points through 16 games, and the Brampton Thunder are up to 26 through 18 - including four points gained last week as the Thunder handed the Inferno overtime and shootout losses.
That doesn't mean any opponents can be taken for granted, as the Inferno found out this past weekend when they hosted the Toronto Furies in their penultimate home series of the season.
