I'm more stuck in win % home and away and that's it. The strength of the opponent literally.

For whatever reason some teams styles match better with others.
Flames could have the same exact strength of opponent as you mentionned but with 1 or 2 eastern road trips and games vs teams they do not fair well agains (Habs, Det, T.B, Was, NJ, etc)
And if it was the case, I wouldn't have posted anything as the record would have been putrid.
Thank god they only have 3 left vs East where they are brutal 11-11-7.
Above you mention ,527 as strength of schedule.
I checked out East and if Flames had 2 games remaining vs each team in position 6 to 16 (roughly ,520%) they only got 22 pts in 21 games.
