Flames MO is throw a lot of pucks at the net. Thing is that means you win a lot of the metrics but not a ton of it is particularly high danger. The idea is to win on margins and probability. But a team like Edmonton is the antithesis of that and they go for as much high danger plays (for and against) as possible. Which means you need a goalie who can shut down some grade A chances to beat them. Flames also need to be a bit more creative with their offence. Shooting 40 shots and winning the shot battle doesn’t mean much.
