Also Heat were scheduled to play 2 home and 2 away games with Springfield Falcons but they play Worchester Sharks instead from the same Atlantic division in the Eastern Conference.

Was expecting it myself. That's pretty much standard with isolated teams. Manitoba has the same set up, as does the ECHL's Alaska Aces schedule always looks the same, and Fort McMurray and Grande Prairie often have similar homestands. You want an awful road trip? Bus to GP then play 7:30 on Saturday night, and 2:00 Sunday afternoon. ouch!
What is really weird to me is how San Antonio, Houston and Texas all have similar setups, though not as blatant as Winnipeg and Abbotsford. You'd think they would be close enough to each other to avoid that.
