So I guess by your "deep" analysis, they're not good five on five. But you're right, the Flames are worse at -13.
Also, you keep repeating that it's all about Hellebuyck, which is objectively clearly just false, because once again the Jets also score goals at a decent pace, and again it's an argument only someone who literally ignores goals could make.
The Jets actually score goals five on five at the exact same pace as the Flames. The teams are ranked 19th and 20th at 2.35/60 and 2.34/60.
So the five on five difference between the teams comes down to team defense and the ability of their goaltenders. The Jets have a higher Shots against/60 (slightly), xGA/60 (3rd worst), SCA/60 (8th worst), High Danger against per 60 (2nd worst) ... but have the 9th best team save percentage five on five and you want to hammer me for thinking this is about their goaltender?
I honestly don't get how you see it any other way?

Who is ahead in the exhibition series in xGF% Vancouver or Calgary?
Is there a place to get these stats?
