Edmonton has had a brutal 9-game road trip and has played 3 more away games than home games. Meanwhile, Calgary has played 3 more home games than away games.
The Oilers are already 2 points ahead of the Flames and have much more favorable schedule to end the season (especially considering our pitiful and well-deserved road record). It'd be a major surprise if the Flames finished ahead of the Oilers at this point when you actually break it down.
