Would the Flames be in the playoffs with 47 wins vs. the Kings 46? Is the magic number 9 or 8.5?

LA has 31 ROW currently, so 13 more ROW puts them at 44 with 99 pts in your scenario.
CGY has 35 ROW currently, so 8 more ROW would put them at 43 with 99 pts. LA has the tie breaker as a result in this scenario.
I think that's why.
