From the graph, it seems apparent that the Flames and Blues have different approaches on how to prevent offense in their zones. The Flames seem to leave the points wide open, allowing many shots from there, where the Blues seem to cover the points well, restricting shots from there, but allowing more down low.
Elliot is a goalie who has a great high-danger sv% by my memory, but since war-on-ice went dark I don't know where to find things anymore. The Blues, knowing this, weren't as worried about protecting the slot as the Flames were, and thus their shot pattern against is fairly different.
Hopefully GG realizes this and acts accordingly.
