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.

Well earlier in the season the Flames were struggling to score. They even gave up considerably more goals then they scored at the time. But post changes, they scored 4+ goals per game and were surrendering less. I believe Backlund is the secret to this team winning and losing, him being at his absolute 2 way best makes a massive difference.
