When we last checked in with the Flames ECHL affiliate, they were off to a rocky start on the split-season 2021 campaign. They managed to sneak out a pair of back-to-back wins in the last two of their three games this week, so perhaps things are turning around! Nothing official has been announced regarding the realigned Kelly Cup playoffs format, aside from the fact that seeding will be based off of the regular season win percentage. Either by points or win percentage, though, the Mavs are in 5th place coming out of this week. It still leaves them somewhat in the mix based off the mismatched number of games played/in-hand early on in this 72 game season.
