I think the top line through all these games is fine. Defense, fine. Goaltending, Fine.

Bottom 8 forwards plus Tkachuk most of the time, a shambles. No consistency, look nervous, look like doing the bare minimum to not get scored against. Not driving the play. Not playing as a unit, pick your poision.
Aided also by defense not jumping up as much as the Flames aren’t causing the turnovers they did last year at their own line and going back with speed the other way.

But mainly, it’s not having anyone that looks remotely able to score goals, or create consistent chances, outside of the top line and Tkachuk in the LAK game.
