Results are results, you need to pick up the points.

But the team isn't playing poorly against the West or their division.

Some stats five on five

CF%
Atlantic 51.2%
Central 59.1%
Metro 52.9%
Pacific 54.7%

xGF%
Atlantic 49.6%
Central 64.2%
Metro 51.5%
Pacific 53.9%

HD Splits
Atlantic 51.0%
Central 66.7%
Metro 50.2%
Pacific 55.6%

They have played the Pacific 2nd best behind the Central which has considerably less games.

What it comes down to finishing and getting the save. The Flames have terrible shooting percentages against both the Central and Pacific, and similarly poor save percentages.

PDO by Division
Atlantic 101
Central 96
Metro 103
Pacific 97

As I said you need the points but they're playing just fine in the West.
