Western Conferences teams would prefer to play the Flames with the 3rd best record against Western opponents after Nashville and Anaheim instead of middle-of-the-pack L.A.?
Tonight was clearly a team with a clinched playoff berth resting their starter on the 2nd night of back-to-backs, no need to dig out the tin-foil.
