If you look at the team Hextally graphs on war-on-ice.com, you can see the Flames shot chart is much more narrow on shots for than shots allowed on shots from about the circles in.
Also interesting - if you uncheck the 'use only three blocks' checkbox, the only spot on the ice where the Flames take more shots (5 on 5) than the league average is the just behind the slot. They also have a much better shooting percentage from that spot than the rest of the league.
Could be a coincidence or it could point to something they've worked on to get effective shots from that spot on the ice on a regular basis.
