Thing is, scoring chances against, and high-danger scoring chances against, show the same trend. By any measure you care to name, the team has improved defensively since the first half-dozen games of the season.

Is goals against a good indicator for defense?

Agreed, they've improved. Don't think I was denying that? Still think they have some issues defensively namely the 3rd and 4th lines and the gap control by the second pairing defenceman. They can be much better defensively and even the top line has been cheating for offense.
