To add on to this, Calgary is winning because their players are playing at maximum effort. You've heard the expression of teams wanting to win the SC needing to "step up and play at another level come playoff time". Calgary may be not be capable of playing at another level.
Don't be surprised if a team like Nashville starts to regroup and eventually gets into a playoff spot.
