To be better on the PP they need better faceoffs and puck retrieval. That's on the players IMO. Once they set up they aren't as bad as all that, but they lose 15 seconds for every lost faceoff and every time the opposition wins the puck in the corner.

Face offs are a red herring here IMO. They're at 53% on the PP which is middle of the road. On the PK their second worst at 39.9%, but average is only 46%. With the extra 12 wins to get to average (assuming your 15% is correct), that only gives the flames about 2:20 extra killed. Hardly impactful
