Expected points for their opponents the rest of the way:
Flames: 62.6 points
Oilers: 64.7 points
Seattle: 65.7 points
So all things being equal, we'll expect Flames to gain 2.1 points on the Oilers and 3.1 points on Seattle.
It's not nothing. But it's really not that big of a deal.

why just those teams? you cherry picked teams that also had hardish schedules. Flames aren't just competing with those two teams for a playoff spot. Also I will bet you $1000 the Flames gain more than 3.1 points on Seattle by years end.
Time will tell I think your numbers will turn out to be way low...would you honestly take the under on 97 points for the Flames? I sure as hell wouldn't
