The Flames powerplay has been deadly, clicking at 30% - good for sixth in the league - while the penalty-kill has been just as impressive with an 85.7% kill rate, tied for eighth.
Look no further than Saturday's win over the Hurricanes, tied up late in the game and the penalty-killers came up massive killing a four-minute 'Canes man advantage, offering little to no opportunities.
And in the end proved to be a difference maker, with Tyler Toffoli then scoring the overtime winner.
"It was great hearing the crowd cheering us on," Mikael Backlund said. "Creating a buzz in the rink. It always feels good killing off penalties especially late in games, in tie games, and especially in the four minute or two-minute mark. It felt great, and was huge to get that extra point in OT, big goal for us.
"You can't overlook the fact that our special teams have been solid and a big reason why we are where we are," Coleman added. "We have a lot off familiar faces on the kill from last year, and obviously the new guys coming have been big keys on the power play. Been great and that's why we are 4-1.
"So while 5-on-5 hasn't, maybe not been where we want it, a lot of the other things have been good and there are a lot of important parts to the game too. You look toward how teams win in the playoffs and special teams make or break that time of year."
