Thus far
Flames win in SJ
Sharks win in SJ
Flames win in CGY
Still a home and home remaining. Because of the odd number of games, the Flames first win in SJ does not count. So the season series is effectively tied, which means they'll need to get 3 points against them in the final two games. Realistically, they will need all 4 and SJ to get 0 for this to even be a possibility.

I didn't believe you, so I looked it up:
Tie-Breaking procedure If two clubs are tied in points, games played and ROW during the regular season
The greater number of points earned in games between the tied clubs. If two clubs are tied, and have not played an equal number of home games against each other, points earned in the first game played in the city that had the extra game shall not be included. If more than two clubs are tied, the higher percentage of available points earned in games among those clubs, and not including any "odd" games, shall be used to determine the standing.
