You count OT wins, do OT loses not count.
.500 points percentage and .500 win percentage are two different things.

A win tonight gets the Flames back to a .500 points % but not a .500 win %.

Ultimately neither of these are relevant in the 3-point era. The only thing relevant is how many wins you have vs regulation losses, compared to the other teams in the standings.

Right now the Oilers are +4 and the Habs are +5, so the Flames at -1 have their work cut out for them.
