They are currently at 3.49 goals per game.
The lowest GF/GP in the history of the NHL is the 1928-29 Chicago Blackhawks at 0.75, with the next worst the 1928-29 Pittsburgh Pirates at 1.05 goals per game.
Due to this historic and consistent low goals per game, the forward pass was permitted in the 1929-30 season. Since the start of that 1929-30 season, the lowest goals per game was the 1935-36 Montreal Canadiens, with 1.71.
So, what I am saying is, the NHL would need to remove the forward pass for the Flames to even come close to not hitting 200 goals this season...

With 3 home games left in February, they might be around 180 by time the calendar flips.
