I really only see one stretch in January where they were a little lower, but even there they had 5 out of 10 with 3 goals or more.

Those game logs really show how bad these lines were this year compared to last year.

Last year the Flames scored 3 or more even strength goals 29 times in 70 games (41.4% of the time)

This year they have done it 3 times (twice scoring 3 on a goalie and once scoring the third goal on an empty net) in 21 games before today (14.3% of the time).

The lines last year were 3 times as likely to score 3 or more goals at even strength in a game compared to the lines they tried this year.

Other teams in our division have scored 3 or more even strength goals at a rate much higher than the Flames this year, similar to the rate the Flames scored at in previous years

Jets - 10 times
Oilers - 12 times
Canucks - 9 times
Sens - 6 times
Leafs - 8 times
Habs - 8 times

In a division where everyone scores 5 on 5, the Flames were the only team unable to. I strongly suspect that will change and the Flames will be much more productive 5 on 5 now that the coach has gone back to the logical lines.
