Calgary Flames
Calgary Flames are coming off a strong start to the season, with their offense showing significant improvement compared to last season. Despite ranking below average in goals per game and shots per game last season, they scored an impressive six goals in their opening game, with multiple players contributing to the scoring. On the defensive end, the team's performance was average, but goaltending was a weak spot. With Jacob Markstrom no longer on the team, Dan Vladar will now be the starting goaltender. Although Vladar struggled in the first game of the season, allowing five goals, he still managed to secure the win in overtime. The Flames currently hold a power ranking of 17, with the top-ranked offense and below-average defense, and are undefeated this season with a record of 2-0.
