How many of those players got into games without their team suffering from injuries to a player who plays the same position (or got called up late in the season to play in garbage-time games)?
The Flames have been remarkably healthy in the forward ranks in recent years. They were bottom of the league in terms of man-games lost the last 2 seasons.
That luck isn't going to last forever, and when it ends, those opportunities will happen for the AHL players, like they have for those other players on the other teams.
