I think the concern is overblown. The top line has 9 goals and 33 points in 14 games since 1 February, and 5 goals/20 pts at even strength. The Flames have an 8-4-2 record since then, and have scored 42 goals in that time (3.0 G/GP).
Secondary scoring has mattered a tonne over the last month, and it will be really important once the playoffs begin. The Flames have been getting lots of it recently.
