Another day another drop in the Flames Magic Number. Down to 11.5 with the win against Winnipeg. With Magic Numbers of 7.5, 7, and 6.5 for the 10th-12th placed teams, Calgary is going to finish in the top 9 barring something strange happening.
The most likely outcomes from the remaining 14 games is that the Flames will either finish 2nd in the Pacific, 3rd in the Pacific, or in the first wild card spot facing the San Jose Sharks. Strange things could happen like the Flames continuing their torrid pace and beat the Sharks in both meetings to take the division, or fade a bit and fall back to the 2nd wild card spot to face either the Wild or Hawks. Both are unlikely outcomes though.
