He's 10th best on the Flames and only a smidge better than Dube and Kadri in that metric. It's basically a three-way tie for 10th. The only player on the team significantly worse is Mangiapane who is having a disastrous start to the season.
Looch's 2.84 is a bad number, especially when you consider the 4th line is reasonably sheltered and not usually out there against opposing team's top lines.
The ironic thing is that players who are worst in that metric are actually generally 1st line guys, believe it or not. For example MacKinnon and Rantanen are at 2.9 and 3.21, respectively.
