Why can't we score?

12 goals in our last 4 games. That's 3 per game. That's very good.
 
We are 11th in goals/game, despite tons of injuries. There is no problem, aside from an over-reactionary fanbase.
 
We aren't getting any odd man rushes. And lacking those we need to score by keeping possession and getting scoring chances from our possession.

Kessel is injured. Bolland and Bozak are 2 of our top 3 centres, and they have been out of the lineup.

That definitely is the #1 reason we're not scoring lately. The question is why? I wouldn't put down Bolland out of line up as a reason for us not getting chances off the rush; most of our scoring were from our first 2 lines. Like today against CBJ with Bozak and Kadri centering the top 2 lines, we still didn't get any odd-man rush that I can recall.
 
This team used to be so dangerous on the counter-attack, but this isn't the case anymore. Is this a Carlyle issue?
