I just see a pattern developing this season where the Flames hold a lot of possession in a period and it doesn’t seem to turn into goals due to a potential lack of finishing ability in our top 6.

I think a large part of that is they just haven't been playing with confidence, and their shots/plays were reflecting that. Generating zone time without finish is that step before breaking out typically. Looks like they somewhat broke out of it last game.
Once Bennett gets the monkey off the back and Jankowski draws blood, I think you'll see some finishing ability up and down the line up. A few guys yet to break out. That includes Jagr.
