There's a clear difference in which team is likely to get scored on regardless of goaltending. The FLames chase every game and compensate their stats. But they don't play well when the game is actually in the balance.

You also cherry picked the worst number of High Danger Chance differential for the Flames - which is driven down by their horrendous special teams this year.
Change it from High Danger differential tied to high danger differential close - and all of a sudden the Flames jump the 49.2%, actually ahead of the reigning Stanley Cup champions at 49.1% but the cover for Crawford amazingly.
Or if you want to look strictly at scoring chances against the Flames do sit at 12.1. Which is identical to Boston and Dallas.
For the most part the Flames generate as many scoring chances as they give up, and really the difference for them this season lies in goaltending.
