The Flames basically flipped their season long script once Neal was out with an injury.
Suddenly some guy who was getting 16 undeserved minutes a night wasn't in the lineup to create a log jam and a cast of bottom 6 guys could actually get some chemistry with each other. Lo and Behold the Flames top 6 goes uncharacteristically cold, frozen even, and the bottom 6 just happens to start lighting it up and carrying the mail.
Mangiapane is actually good.
Bingo, pull up those sweet sweet mangiapane stats for me. I need an advanced stats comparison between him and Neal.
Heatmaps? Do we have those?
Someone post a hero chart.

They started losing when he went out and started winning again when he was skating. Coincidence? Probably. But I don't think your conclusions are too solid either.
Mangiapane versus Neal isn't a thing. Czarnik versus Neal is probably a thing.
