I didn't watch yesterday's game so I'm not in a position to challenge your observation
however if I look at it- through the 2 games (both played in Colorado, the 2nd where the Flames were in a real tough spot) even Colorado's goals have been mostly from their 'top line' with one from Burakovsky on the PP
in terms of forwards scoring but have their top line +1 (Kadri/mangiapane) in the 20 goal club, the another knocking on the door (Burakovsky/Toffoli) then one in the mid teens (Nikuschkin/Coleman)...then they have a few 11s we have a few 9s etc
forward depth seems not so far off offensively (ok sure this could change if Giroux etc are added)
now of course an issue is that Makar/Toews that is 30 goals from the back end right there- our D is contributing offensively but not like THAT
