SJ has one more point than CGY, but odds are much worse at 58.6% < 84.1%.
They must have a killer schedule remaining?

In addition to what was already said, the weighted method uses goal differential as a strong predictor into who will more likely win any future matchups. Calgary has a GD of +19, while SJ is even. Therefore, the weighted method would show Calgary as earning more points than SJ, even if they had the exact same remaining schedule.
The 50/50 method takes away this weighting on GD and drops Calgary's chance of getting in, and increases the Sharks.
