Those numbers are nuts, they are all over the place from game to game.
Right now, the Flames are 5 pts up on Utah with the same number of games played. If Utah wins in OT, they will still be 4 pts back, but both teams would have a 35% chance of the playoffs.
If Utah wins in regulation, they would still be 3 pts back of the Flames, but would have a 36.6% chance of playoffs, and the Flames would be at 31%.
And you can't blame different divisions because both teams are only looking at a wild card (and Utah would have more teams to climb in their division).
Those numbers are junk.
