Games are designated as either "regional" or "national".
If national, games will be available across Canada without blackouts.
If regional, games will only be available in the Calgary Flames region - which is Alberta, Saskatchewan, NWT(?) only. Someone else can confirm the exact Flames region.
It's not dependent on the teams that they are playing.
As of late, past few years, more and more of the games have been designated as national.
