He did, but he wasn't alone in that.
The problem, IMO (with respect to THIS problem), is that the Flames are standing still in their defensive positions, and then hesitant in how to react, then uncertain on what to do when the DO get the puck, and as a result, cough it up WAY too much in their own zone, and thus are spending way too long in their own zone. If you keep doing that, coverage will eventually break down and guys will be left open.
IMO< this has been the biggest problem over the last few games: defensive zone turnovers, resulting in long stretches where the play remains in their end. Multiple goals have come as a result.
