It will come.

The Flames have the 3rd best expected goals against and the 4th best high danger chances against. They also have the 4th best Corsi for and Fenwick for.
Team defense doesn't seem to be a problem. The Zarodov-Stone pairing and the Tanev-Weegar pairing are among the most effective pairings in the league from an analytics standpoint.
Really, the only problem with team is goaltending. That's it. Not defense. The Flames are still elite in that regard.
