 However, the Flames also were consistently outshot in the first quarter and the team's shooting percentage and save percentage were viewed by some, such as "The Globe and Mail" James Mirtle, as being unsustainable, even as he argued there were many positives for the team.The Flames continued winning as November came to an end, as goaltender Karri Ramo recorded consecutive shutout wins to end the month; 2–0 over the San Jose Sharks on November 27 and 3–0 over the Arizona Coyotes two nights later.With the victories, the Flames entered December with a 15–8–2 record and trailed Division co-leaders Anaheim and Vancouver by one point.
