This is not a problem that is unique to the Flames.

The real benchmark then is how do the Flames fare in low scoring games. I can't find a site that lets you see this easily, but I'd be interested to see the Flames record in games with 5 goals or less scored total compared to the rest of the league. This site shows the Flames at an 11-8 record in 1 goal games which isn't great, but that's also including a bunch of high scoring games (6-5, etc) so not really a playoff predictor
