If the Flames have anything you could call a problem at this point it’s that Huberdeau and Lindholm aren’t doing much offensively outside of the powerplay.
Our second and fourth lines are paying very well. Defensively and goaltending wise we’re good enough to win each game we’ve played outside of the Buffalo game.

And I'm not even sure the 2nd line is playing all that well. They've had production with the Kadri heater, but they're not tipping the scales much five on five by the numbers.
Top line 52.2%
2nd line 50.8%
3rd line 54.3%
4th line 42.9%
Fourth line has been feast or famine all season.
Ironically the Oiler game was a huge step in the right direction defensively, after the team has had a pretty sketchy homestand in adhering to Sutter hockey.
