To me, this is probably one of the worst stats in hockey. You can beat teams that were in a playoff position in December or January but if for some reason that team gets injuries or start sliding, your wins swing on to the other side.
For those of you that favor this stat, lets say Clb pulls ahead of Mtl, well that stat would swing 4 games. And if a miracle would happen and Ari would win out and Dal stumble, that would be another 6 game swing so record would be like 23-12 !
Conclusion: Due to the fact that we don't play well against Dallas ever, this stat is skewed.
