But, when the game is tied the Flames have the worst possession numbers in the entire league.
If you adjust for score effects to account for that disparity, they're currently 27th in the NHL in Score Adjusted Corsi which is right in line with their 27th best points %.

He was talking last 5 games.
Last 5 games, they have been ok score adjusted, probably 50% and not much good to show for it.
