Every team has stretches like this during an 82 game season.
This isn’t the Flames playing bad, they are getting PDO’d a little bit right now.
Over the last 5 they are 1-3-1 but they are still playing okay during that stretch. When you look at every NHL teams last 5 games the Flames rank:
Corsi For: 56.4% (2nd)
High Danger %: 54.5% (10th)
xGF%: 51.6% (11th)
Shooting % : 6.36% (27th)
Save %: .880 (26th)
PDO: .944 (29th)
When a team lands in a stretch like that it’s almost impossible to overcome. The shooting percentage is a concern because this team genuinely lacks finishers, but the goaltending will be better and this will bounce back.
It’s a tough 5 game stretch, and they’ve gotten a little sloppy (busy schedule and no practice time tends to do that) but they will be fine.
As for tonight the goalie let in two soft goals, and that’s the difference in the game
