Matt Coronato

Coronato's four points arrived without the shot volume or ice time that typically signals a sustainable scoring pace. His 13:28 against Seattle sits well below his 16:38 average, and the single shot represents less than half his usual 2.4 per game. He leads Calgary's skaters in power-play time at 2:50 a night and remains on the first unit.

His underlying play grades 84 out of 100 among forwards in shots, scoring chances and ice time, a measure of how repeatable his production should be. The averages of 0.26 goals and 0.34 assists per game reflect a more modest baseline than Friday's output. Calgary has four games remaining this week, with contests Friday, Saturday, Monday and Wednesday.

What to do

• Hold Coronato as a depth scorer who plays top power-play minutes but posted limited shot volume in this one.

• Do not read Friday's four points as a change in role or ice time, which both stayed within his normal range.

• Use Coronato in formats that reward his power-play deployment and the Flames' four-game week ahead.
