Aren't the stats flawed if they can't discriminate between a 10-15% scoring chance and a 30-35% scoring chance?

Absolutely, and I hope they get stats to that degree some day.
But at least the graphics above show the Flames aren't just shooting from the very outside tip points of the home plate perimeter while giving up crease jammers in front of their goaltender.
The puck is getting to the place they want the puck.
It's not going in.
