The Flames and their fans should almost have a rally for the number of rallies they’ve executed this season.

   Entering Game 60 on Tuesday against Columbus the Mike Keenan’s crew has amassed 38 of their 76 points in games where they came from behind.

   In 20 games the Flames were behind before they came back to win.  That accounts for 18 wins and 2 games where the team got points losing in extra time.  The most recent rally was Saturday in Edmonton when the Flames fell behind twice by a goal but won 3-2 in a shootout.

   The greatest rally was a 3-goal comeback on Oct. 23 in Nashville where a 3-0 deficit at midway in the 2nd period was turned into a 5-3 with Jarome Iginla getting 3 goals.  Twice the Flames have rallied from 2 goals down to get points and on 17 occasions erased one-goal deficits. Some times, like Saturday, they’ve come-from-behind more than once in these games.

   The Flames are tied for the league lead  wins after allowing the first goal of a game. They’ve done it 15 times.  They achieved it 13 times all of last season.
