All situations Corsi
- The Flames were already down by a goal just minutes into the game as they successfully defended a 5v3 power play but couldn’t close out the penalty kill in the second penalty.
- Once the Blackhawks scored their second goal, they effectively stopped trying.
- The Flames pushed but it’d be Chicago to score the next goal as well as Weegar’s third period goal came too little too late for a comeback attempt.
- Despite the Flames shooting way more than the Blackhawks, the Flames didn’t have many high-danger chances at all. Their shots were scattered all over the ice.
- Meanwhile, Chicago was better at funnelling more of their shots into the slot, but Jacob Markstrom saved all the net-front shots he faced. He was beaten thrice on shots from further out.
5v5 Corsi
- Since this game was played mostly at 5v5, the above chart looks fairly similar to the all situations version.
- However, the 5v5 chart makes Calgary’s game look even worse as they were completely unable to get any shots off from in close. There’s a large radius around the crease that was entirely devoid of Flames shots.
- Chicago barely had any shot attempts at 5v5 but they still had better quality in their shots.
