From what I have read home teams earn about 55% of available points in the NHL. So that is statistically significant but after 22 games with what is now closer to an even split, rather meaningless.
I don't how to quantify the Flames harder schedule. oOes that means 2 or 3 points less than expected vs. an average schedule? I suppose. With so few games, I'm not putting much weight in any of it really. Two wins or two losses in a row has such a dramatic effect with so few games played.
