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.
Possibly. I've just never seen a 10% swing on a game before.
