But any team with high shot volume won't be top 5-10 in shooting percentage.
I think the better stat is xGF vs GF.
Last year the Flames had the 5th highest xGF60 at 2.79 and finished with an actual GF60 of 2.96 or +0.17
This year the Flames have the 8th highest xGF60 at 2.80 (scoring is up), so they're creating pretty much exactly the same amount, but not finishing as well with 2.66 (-0.14).
Up to the reader to pick from poorer finishers vs bad luck.
When you look at the league, they're right in the middle for disparity at -0.14.
Teams with no luck ... Ottawa, Colorado, Carolina.
Teams with all luck ... Seattle, Vancouver, Buffalo

Those are some interesting stats. If our shooting % was in the 8% range we would be rolling.
Here are the shooting % for this LA coaches teams at 5v5. It does seem to have a concerning trend that it was usually at the bottom of the league. They had some talented players so I don't think that is the issue.
7.58% 2013
6.6% 2013/2014(Won the cup)
7.56% 2014/15
6.78 % 2015/2016
6.26% 2016/2017
Two season after Sutter
7.89% 2017/2018
7.47% 2018/2019
Funny enough we are 7.81% which put us smack at the bottom 3 in the league. The league as a whole is shooting better and scoring more.
