How these lines are built
Every unit above is the group that shared the most five-on-five ice in that game, rebuilt from the NHL's own shift chart. Power plays, penalty kills, four-on-four and empty-net time are cut out, so a top power-play unit can't pass itself off as the first line. Power-play units are measured from power-play time only. The number beside each unit is how long that exact group was on the ice together.
Read it as what the coach did, not as a forecast. A blowout shortens the bench and an injury scrambles everything after it. The full method, and every other club's lines, are on the all-clubs page. Player projections for the Flames live on the shots on goal, points and anytime goal boards.
