Outside of the 4th line they are playing sound defensively and getting chances.
In 39 minutes at even strength tonight, when none of Lucic, Nordstrom, or Ryan were on the ice the Flames were:
61% Corsi For (42-27)
57% High Danger For (12-9)
60% Expected Goals (2.5 - 1.6)
They were unlucky though as two bad bounces happened and it ends up being 1 GF - 2 GA for those lines at even strength.
The bottom 3 (namely Lucic and Nordstrom) is bad though corsi was 40%, and High Danger chances were 0 for and 3 against. Biggest issue is momentum just turns every time they are on the ice too.
