In the regular season, they tried to pass it into the net. Now they are shooting from everywhere. It isn't their game, and it isn't a surprise that they are struggling with it.

That was my thought heading into it ....
But overall they're generating MORE chances of the high danger brand, not less.
But looking at 5 on 5 alone ...
Calgary and Dallas both generating 11.9 HD chances/60. They are right on the playoff average for the 16 teams.
Regular season the Flames generated 11.8 HD chances/60 but only gave up 9.6.
Really it's more of a leak defensively in terms of generation.
(Huge caveat that these numbers are what they are, certainly an indication of play driving but with a three game sample size it could skew)
