I really appreciate the info.

Can you give similar stats for the Flames defensively, in terms of giving up high quality scoring chances?

Edit: OK, I did some digging on my own... First, I found this article on NHL Numbers that, after some seemingly thorough statsical analysis, concluded that there was an extremely high correlation between Fenwick and Scoring Chances that made independently tracking the latter of little additional usefulness. Based on that...

NHL.com's advanced stats show the Flames 5-on-5 Fenwick For (which it labels simply as Unblocked Shot Attempts For) as being 9th in the league. Pretty surprising to me, but in line with the stats Bingo cited (though it has Tampa being 11th, far off of Bingo's report).

Fenwick Against/USAT Against 5-on-5 tells a different story: the Flames are 21st in the league, and 13th of 15 teams in the West.
