It's my understanding that all games on Saturdays, Sundays, and Wednesdays will be broadcast nationwide without blackout. If that's correct, there are quite a few missing from the national list right now, like Saturday afternoon games and a lot of Wednesday night games.
I think all they've announced today are the "flagship" national games that will fall under the Hockey Night in Canada, Wednesday Night Hockey, and Sunday Night Hockey (formerly Home Town Hockey) banners. As it says in their promotional material, 200 national broadcasts were announced today, but they will have more than 350 total when everything is announced.
All tolled, the Flames have 17 Saturday games; 11 Wednesday games; and 5 Sunday games. That should see 33 games airing nationally over the season.
Of course, if you live in the Flames region, all 82 games will be televised somewhere.
