It's likely just coincidental that Calgary has a very good record vs. the stronger Atlantic division.
Unless there is some suggestion that if Calgary was in the Atlantic division they'd be cleaning up?
I have little doubt that if Calgary had more games against better teams that their record would be worse. They give up quite a few more goals than they score (-17), so this has been very much a below average team this year.

The problem with this theory is that the Flames have played more games against above average teams than they have played against below average teams. They have one of the easiest remaining schedules in the league.
