win by 4 goals in order for WPG to jump us in the tanker standings. EDIT -- Should we be still tied with pts and ROW by end of season, should clarify

As of right now, the Flames and Jets are tied with identical 28-35-5 records and both also have 26 regulation/overtime wins (ROW). So what is the next tie-breaker? I'm glad you asked.
Next they go to head-to-head record but with a catch. When the teams play an uneven amount of home games as is the case in the three-game Jets-Flames season series, the first result in the city that hosts two of the games is excluded. So the Flames 4-1 win over Winnipeg at the Saddledome on Dec. 22 is tossed out. The only game that counts so far is Winnipeg's 3-1 win at the MTS Centre on Oct. 16. The other game goes this Wednesday when the Jets are in town.
If Calgary wins in regulation to make it two points each in the season series, the final tie-breaker should they be even in points and ROW at season's end would be goal differential on the season. In that, Winnipeg (-27) currently holds the edge on the Flames (-31).
