Would be easy to say they don't take Edmonton seriously, but it could be the opposite too I guess - going for the two points in Calgary and throwing away the two in Edmonton?

I think every situation is different and for different reasons so pretty much impossible to know unless you're the coach.
Maybe you think Calgary is the better team because literally any advanced metrics say they are so you wanna save your number 1 for the better team or you just want to give your number 1 an extra day of rest between games.
Last year it seemed like Flames got all the backups.
