Is that something to be concerned about? Does it indicate strongly that the Flames winning isn't sustainable the way they are currently playing?
Or does it mean F all?

They're pretty sloppy.
They were money in the first two games of the season (maybe three if you ignore the first period against Vegas).
But the next three games have seen their brand slip somewhat.
Fugly against Buffalo
Outplayed by Carolina
Last night they had a great first, and a shut down third, but a brutal second.
As a result they aren't where they were for most of last season.
11th in CF%
12th in xGF%
14th in HD splits
Defensively they're not there yet. 15th in xGA60 isn't what Sutter is looking for.
