I don't think it matters too much in terms of tired vs rested. Pretty comparable between Van, Cgy and Edm this year anyways.
But the geographical/travel advantage in their back to backs seems to be more than negligible, as well as all these odd 3+ day breaks scattered throughout the schedule.
It's been pretty forgiving to this point. I say that because I look at the OOT and never see the Oilers on there on Flames game days, and then when I do see them, they're playing some bottom feeder.
Pretty nice sched for the dog days of the season.
Meanwhile for Flames are on an eastern swing, fly home just to play ottawa, then immediately travel south.
