Calgary Flames
Top scorers Nazem Kadri, Elias Lindholm, and Blake Coleman have contributed to 20 goals and 31 assists, but the rest of the team has seen limited success. The defense has been their downfall with 15 goals allowed in the last four games despite MacKenzie Weegar and Noah Hannifin putting up 2.7 defensive point shares. Goaltender Daniel Vladar has also struggled, posting a save percentage of .877 and a goals-against average of 3.45 on 212 shots. The Calgary Flames are having a difficult season, posting a record of 11-13-3 and currently ranked 26 in power rankings. Playing offense is their main issue, as they only average 2.89 goals per game and have seen limited success outside of Nazem Kadri, Elias Lindholm, and Blake Coleman's 20 goals and 31 assists. The defense has also been an issue for the Flames, allowing 3.44 points on average and 15 goals in the last four games. Goaltender Daniel Vladar's stats, with a .877 save percentage and a 3.45 goals-against average on 212 shots, have been a further source of difficulty.
