Islanders 5/6 for goals have produced 32, Flames 5/6 in goals have produced 25.
Once again, the Flames score 2 goals and lose.
I don't know if it's luck after 70 games now. I think it might be a combination of skill and coaching.

The Islanders bury their scoring chance relative to the Flames.
The Flames have 5 players with 10 % or higher shooting % and the Islanders 12. Nashville 9.
The Flames need to generate twice as many chances to score the same amount of goals.
Maybe the fact that you give up possession when you score a goal is a factor.
There are 14 players with 30 or more goals the lowest shooting % of the 14 is 13%.
