Shots don't, but "high-danger
scoring chances" statistics do include shots taken very soon after a zone entry or shots after a rebound or a blocked shot. The Flames' scoring chance statistics are not especially bad either. The one thing that isn't taken account by data is backdoor plays, but from the eye test the Flames haven't been burned back door much more than most teams. Some frustrating breakdowns, but every team has those.
Scoring Chances Against / 60 minutes:
Philly - 31.2
Montreal - 28.0
NY Rangers - 26.8
Flames - 26.5
Flames since Detroit - 25.3
LA - 24.6
St. Louis - 25.6
Nashville - 22.1
High-Danger Scoring Chances Against / 60 minutes
Philly - 15
Montreal - 10.5
NY Rangers - 10.6
Flames - 11.0
Flames since Detroit - 8.7
LA - 10.1
St. Louis - 9.7
Nashville - 7.4
Basically we've been playing contender defensive hockey minus goaltending since the Detroit game.
