I think they're pressing.
The best way to see that is in the miss totals that the Flames continue to have.
Missed shots 1st (that's the total at 718, next closest is Carolina at 691)
Crossbars - 11 (1st, 7 is 2nd)
Posts - 27 (13th)
Over the Net - 79 (3rd)
Wide - 601 (tied for first)
Young core trying to be too perfect on shots is my guess.
And this is why I think things are going to break in the right direction. They have the chances against down, becoming an elite differential team with a really high missed shot total.

IMO a much more likely explanation for those stats than epicly bad luck is that they don't actually create good chances in the sense of "a lot of net to shoot at", leaving them with poor options and desperate snipes that predictably fail a lot.
