The high amount of road games is what is skewing the record. Flames are 4-1-1 at home and they have always been a tough out at home. As bad as some people think the sky is falling, the Flames are still only 3 points out from the division and the conference lead all the while they are far from rolling.

By way of comparison:
· Vancouver has played nine road games, featuring three 2019 WC playoff teams. Their record in these games is 2–1, with wins v. St Louis and the struggling SJ Sharks. Their one loss was in Calgary.
· Edmonton has played nine road games, four of which have been against 2019 playoff teams, but only one in the WC. They lost that game 1–0 in a shootout in Winnipeg.
· Anaheim has played eight road games, with four against 2019 WC playoff teams. They have one win.
· Arizona has played seven road games, and three v. 2019 WC playoff teams. They have a 1–1–1 record.
· VGK has played six road games, and one v. a 2019 WC playoff team. It was Game #2 of the season in SJ, which they won.
· The Flames have played eleven road games. Nine of these against 2019 playoff teams, and six in the WC. They have a 2–3–1 record in those games.
No one has played as many road games as has Calgary. No one has played anywhere near the same number of road games against 2019 WC playoff opponents, and no one has recorded as many points as the Flames in these games.
The schedule masks a lot of what's really going on in the Pac Div right now.
