There's no good reason for it to be a bracket though.
The only reason to use a bracketed structure is if it's something like the NCAA tournaments where teams are located in various host cities and travel isn't possible between rounds. In this situation, all of the teams will be in the same city.

Very good chance if we snuck in to playoffs we were playing a 1 seed like STL anyhow.

The Flames were on the bubble. Chicago wasn't anywhere near the bubble.
The Flames were closer to second place in their Division than Chicago was to second-last place in theirs.
