Which would likely lead to better 3rd period results.

I read those too, but training camp W quotes from other teams will also tall about conditioning too. If I recall I even read about Kessel having one of the best fitness results in camp. I'm not disputing that it may play a role, but even if the Flames fitness is "elite", I don't think the other team is that much more tired. Most teams are fit enough to go all out in the third. On a back to back maybe there's a difference, but not much from period 1 to 3 by my guess
