I assume Calgary's 27 number is relative to Minnesota. They would have a different number relative to SJ (looks like 26.5 by my quick look).
As teams win, and lose, they move up and down the standings and different teams become the relevant opponent.
So the best way to do this is in a matrix, with the differential for each pairing listed.

I (or someone else) usually add that later on, when we get closer to the 60-65 game mark.
I haven't had to do this in three years, so I'll look into it.
