One thing I should have mentioned is that even though the Flames are being out possessed at even strength, it's not that the shot rates against are incredibly high, it's just that the Flames shot chances for are too low. And now that they aren't sporting an above average shooting percentage, the goals aren't as easy.
The Flames need to keep up the consistent suppression of shot rates against (or better yet, improve them) and start generating more. Otherwise there are gonna be an awful lot more 1 goal games, and the majority of them won't go in the Flames favour.
