The Flames kick off their first American road trip with a 5-0 record. The Flames swept a road trip of five-plus games for the second time in franchise history. The Flames became the third team in NHL history to sweep a road trip of five-plus games while never trailing in each contest. Jacob Markstrom became the second different goaltender in franchise history with 45 or more saves in a shutout. Is that good? Yes.

The Flames are near the top of the league in the standings and in player stats. Who would've thought?
