Pure dominance.

Better finishing + goaltending please.
And I'd add the finishing is the bigger issue.

Markstrom five on five is at zero for goals given up beyond expected. That's average as average can be. Not what you want from Markstrom he needs to be better but the issue is the team's finish rates compared to what they're generating.

As you point out ... it's not just perimeter shots, they're driving into the paint and creating lots of quality chances.

SC Shooting Percentage 32nd
SC Save Percentage 16th

HD Shooting Percentage 28th
HD Save Percentage 13th

XGF vs GF 5 on 5 -2.2
XGA vs GA 5 on 5 0.2

Markstrom needs to be better, but it's on the offence through two games ... which was honestly one of my biggest fears. The transition has been way better than I thought, so they're generating more offence (two game sample size) than expected. But their finish is still a huge issue.
