Flames are getting outplayed but a big part of that is they are leading more frequently.

I think it’s starting to show up in their end get too. It takes a lot of energy to defend and 8 playoff games in 16 days with 2 back to backs and a weird schedule. They are a team that looks tired to me.

Here are the numbers across different situations through 4 games.

Tied:
TOI- 103 Minutes
CF%- 45.1%

Leading:
TOI- 102 Minutes
CF%- 28.8%

Trailing:
TOI- 51.0 Minutes
CF%-51.0%

And crazy part is while leading the Flames have had 2 minutes of PP time, vs 15 minutes short handed. So that seems to show that NHL vaunted “game management” coming through. At even strength PP time is even at 7 minutes each, and while trailing the Flames have had 7:00 minutes of PP time vs 7:43 of short handed time. So once Flames get the lead the Stars seem to get a PP parade.
