Flames season series against Oil, Jets, and Nucks will be very important. Win more than you lose against those guys and you should make the playoffs.

Here's the thing about the new schedule: yes, every game feels like a crucial four-point swing, but on top of that each team is also playing at least NINE games against each of their opponents. Ordinarily, dropping the first two games in a season series would be fatal, but in this case there are still seven or eight games left to play. It is silly to throw the proverbial towel in against Toronto and Montreal when there are still 14 or 15 points still on the table there.

There are going to be a lot of wild swings within the Canadian Division.
