Calgary's magic to eliminate all the 9th placed and below teams and to ensure a playoff spot in 15.5 wins or 31 points. Those numbers are reduced by both Calgary wins and losses by the 9th placed team (and those below).

If the Flames beat the Islanders tomorrow, the number will get reduced by one to 14.5 or 29 points. If Los Angeles loses tonight, it will also be reduced by one, so it will be 14.5 or 29 prior to the Flames game tomorrow. If the Kings win tonight, the number will remain at 15.5 or 31 points.

When the # reaches zero, that team can no longer pass Calgary under any circumstances.
