For sure but it was before Ward too.
There are certainly come concerns when it comes to shot metrics, the Ward Flames take less shot attempts and shots, and give up more.
But their high danger stuff has actually improved.
They were terrible in generating under Peters at 9.14 per game. Now they're at a still weak 10.21. Against they gave up 9.98 under Peters and have improved to 9.74.
The overall split went from 47.8% to 51.2% so an improvement.
But why are they generating so little across both coaches? It is the same players.
Both shooting percentage and save percentage is up under Ward, as was likely considering how little luck/bounces the team was getting to start the season.
