At 5v5 the Flames are 5th in Goals For per 60 when the game is tied (2nd in nominal goals)
But drop to 18th GF/60 when trailing (23rd in nominal goals)
So it actually might help. This team is not built to be trailing, Sutter's shot quality mantra doesn't work well with collapsing teams. So better goaltending probably actually would help the lack of scoring.
Last year this team played with the lead, this year they play more trailing. Their play when tied is still elite, it's goaltending leading to that switch.
