Don't know. Hard to quantify off the rush without watching every game.
The thing is most of the stats are often quoted 5v5. If you look at special teams it's another story. Calgary is among the worst in the league at giving up high danger chances on the PK. They're good for 9th worst at giving up high danger chances on the PK and they're 8th worst at letting those in the net.
On the PP they've managed to generate the 6th highest number of high danger chances. Yet they're 20th when it comes to scoring from in close.
The Flames can't finish on the PP despite getting good looks. The Flames can't limit chances or keep the puck out of the net on the PK. That's a problem.
