Calgary had a slow start to the season, and now they are in 7th place in the West. The Flames haven't been very consistent, and while they usually had no problems against outsiders and midtable teams, they struggled against the leaders.

After a crushing victory over Chicago (5:1), Calgary suffered a defeat to Florida (2:6), and then lost to Tampa Bay with a score of 1:4. Despite these two defeats, Darryl Sutter's wards rarely fail to earn points. They lost only 6 out of 21 games in regulation.
