True. Which team would you suggest looking at?
Here is the math assuming even number of games and not factoring home/away.
Oilers: 0.83 points
Seattle: 0.64 points
LA: 1.56 points
Colorado: 0.28 points
That’s the remaining SOS advantage Flames have on these teams.It’s nothing. Actually beating these teams would make a way bigger difference.

Flames have beat 3 of those teams... hopefully they notch #4 tomorrow
Flames are 10-5-2 against the west so considering their remaining schedule is mostly western games that is probably a good sign

Not looking good for the Panthers and that 1st round pick they traded to the Habs
Montreal loving that trade right now!

Damn, things are not looking good for Panthers. 8pts out of the last WC spot. Pacific is going to be tight till the end

How does the Sharks have the 2nd easiest schedule when most of our division is near the hardest?
A ton of different road trips?

The amount of teams involved is as bad as the points back for them...one team could totally tank but they all won't

Still not a huge difference between Flames and teams they are chasing. But anything helps at this point.

Update ...
Flames no longer in top spot but on that three team ledge that's below the rest of the teams.
For playoff race purposes, don't look for much help in schedule against Seattle, Edmonton and Los Angeles.

Golden Nights with the Stone injury is sort of interesting potentially.

Flames will blow by the Knights and Kracking by the end of the season.
I think we will be fighting the Oil for top spot.

No longer any real advantage for the Flames in strength of schedule.
They're still near the top when it comes to easiest road home, but they have Seattle ahead of them and Edmonton and LA too close to call it a huge boost.

There are no easy games this season. It depends on who shows up prepared and ready to play more than anything. Anyone can beat anyone.

yeah for sure. schedule is starting to flatten (with all the caveats anyways about you still have to win the games etc), if anything maybe Vegas and Minny are the ones with a big of a tougher road but they have cushions I think
LA is about to head out on a pretty challenging trip, that will be interesting

To make the playoffs, the Wild are easily the most likely team to beat right now.
To get in the top 3 it's looking like Vegas. We do play Seattle this week. That's a big game. Would be very nice if we can win that one.

Nobody has ever debated that.
But honestly that's just a cliche isn't it?
If you show up with a shade less than your best game you have a better chance to beat a lesser team than a world class outfit. On average having a slightly lesser opponent than your peers can never be a bad thing.

The problem is people look at individual games and think that will be the trend. We lost to Chicago so we can lose any given night.
The Flames have 13 games left against the 9 worst teams. Bottom 9 seem to be where the gap is for the next tier. Philly could be included but they are right there with Detroit and St Louis.
Nobody is suggesting the Flames go 13 - 0. But it is likely they go 10 - 3.
What are the odds the Flames go 10-3 against the top 9 teams? You can play great hockey and not go 10 - 3 against the best teams in the NHL.

What our record vs top 9 and bottom 9 to date?
It feels like we always play better against better teams, but maybe that's just because I notice the losses to bottom feeders more.
