The Flames have just three home games left. This follows their recently concluded six-game home stand, in which they collected eight of a possible 10 points. Preceding that was an unexpected win over the Pittsburgh Penguins, and following it was a somewhat expected win over the Montreal Canadiens, giving the Flames 12 points of a possible 16 over half the games of March.
That recent win streak wasn't necessarily unexpected, though. Outside of the St. Louis Blues - which really came out of nowhere - a lot of the Flames' recent results were predictable, even if on just a gut level.
