Correct. The chart shows that Toronto came out strong in the first 5 minutes, followed by a flurry from the Flames leading to a goal. The Flames then continued to press, but shortly after there is a bunch of PP time, and by the time that sequence was done the game was effectively over.

Everything after is what we refer to as "garbage time" - i.e., a bunch of game time during which the data isn't particularly useful because the score is so lopsided, which impacts how teams play in a significant way.
