The actual answer is scoring from their bottom 6. They lost 2 consecutive fluke games against the President’s Trophy candidates when you consider the amount of soft or strange goals that were scored.
But when you look at most of the losses in the last stretch or most of the season actually, you’ll see that this team is having a hard time scoring enough goals to put teams away or at least to give them more of a cushion.
Constantly expecting your team to win or protect 1 goal games is tough in this league. I’d wager to say the Flames have the least productive bottom 2 lines in the league. If the top 2 lines don’t score every game, the Flames usually lose.
