The 4-7-1 Flames currently have a total of one player inside the top 150 in NHL point scoring — Elias Lindholm with eight points in 12 games — as most of their top offensive players got off to slow starts while the team lost six in a row in the month of October.
They may be starting to work their way out of it, though, with a pair of come-from-behind wins over Seattle and Nashville in which they controlled over 63% of the expected goals and shots on goal while outscoring the Kraken and Predators by a combined 6-3 at even-strength.
