Only 11 teams have a better record when trailing after 3. Unfortunately, only 2 teams have been trailing after 2 periods more often.
The problem isn't the flames response to being down a goal or two, it's that they're down a goal or too too often.
The flames are excellent at keeping a 1 goal lead late. They're:
7-1-2 (only Pittsburgh is better in 1 goal games)
4-12-0 in 3 goal games (only Colorado is worse)
That tells you they struggle to score and put teams away. It also tells you that they've completely fallen apart sometimes, which seems to have improved
