Are they really 1-7 in their last 8 games under Sutter? After winning their first 3?

Yes, while Markstrom has an .876 SV% over his last 4 starts.

Seems like the bigger issue is they have failed to score more than 2 goals in all 7 losses.

Sutter teams don't score. That is the way.

Recall, he turned Iginla in his prime into a 67 point scorer. Once Darryl stepped down as coach, Iginla put up almost 100 points in each of the next three seasons.

Its not so much that his teams don’t score, it’s that you get the puck by playing defence and then you have to hold it. Players that are not good at defence, struggle because they don’t have the puck as much.
