I don't think the preseason record matters to the Flames managaement. I believe that they care about two things, giving their veterans some reps before the season and trying players out to fill roster spots.
The way I see it, each team fulfils that desire, the home team allows the vets to gain momentum into the regular season. The away team is getting thrown into the deep end, so that they know who can hang at an NHL level.
