All the tough guys brought in are in the pressbox, and the two toughest guys up front should be in the pressbox for how well they’re playing most nights (though Lucic and Ritchie were actually solid-to-good yesterday. This hard to play against is coming from the GAF meter increase. Everyone’s skating harder and being harder on pucks. The Flames have the puck most of the night and that’s what’s tough to play against.

Gudbranson, Pitlick, Lewis were all in the lineup. and yeah, Lewis and Gudbranson are tougher than Ryan and Nesterov.
Is that the difference? Who knows.
