We also have to factor in that his most consistent linemate has been Lindholm who quite frankly has struggled immensely at five on five, and that's he's received by far the worst goaltending of any regular skater on the roster (85.37%).
To me it checks out, and doesn't really indicate that Sharangovich is struggling from an individual standpoint (although he was earlier in the season when trying to establish a role here)

Do you think Sharangovich is the worst Flames forward, defensively? And the worst 200-ft forward overall? Because that is what those stats are saying.
Conversely, if you agree that it is more about Lindholm and bad goaltending, then you are agreeing that the stats are basically garbage they are telling us nothing (or nothing accurate, at least)
