Lines:
Gridin-Kadri-Coronato TOI 7:13 xGF 45.19
Farabee-Frost-Sharangovich TOI 7:48 xGF 71.50
Lomberg-Kirkland-Klapka TOI 5:46 xGF 67.44
Zary-Backlund-Coleman TOI 7:13 xGF 70.26
Those numbers look somewhat flattering but the Flames apparently only generated one High Danger Scoring Chance for all game. A bit concerning that they are struggling the same way they did the first half of last season. Huska spoke about it a few times before the season so I really don't think this high volume - low quality style is what they actually want from the players. That said, Demko was good too.
