Those categories for the other teams you mention ...
Columbus 26th/23rd
Montreal 31st/31st
Vancouver 28th/28th
Edmonton 6th/7th
Flames don't have a team defense issue, even with their turnover rates lately.

Team defense has been a huge disappointment for me regardless of what stats you provide. It's not the amount of mistakes, it's how bad the mistakes have been. This is one of the more mediocre Flames teams in recent memory. Not good at scoring and not good at keeping pucks out of the net. +5 goal differential is kind of telling that they just aren't a very good team.
