Andersson-Hanifin is the pairing that has struggled - 47.2% xGF is poor even when you consider they've done more of the heavy lifting against other teams top lines.

It's easy to blame the new guys but the tenured D core has been very disappointing so far.
The Flames have depth in the position but nothing is clicking right now.
I think the current weakness in defense is a big reason why the offense is also having trouble getting started.
