Here are the current magic numbers for each team. The fourth column is the one with the magic number. If that number reaches zero, it means you are in the playoffs. A win reduces that number by 1. An overtime loss reduces it by 0.5. A loss by the 9th placed team, in this case Nashville reduces it also by one. For teams outside the playoffs a loss by the 8th placed team, Minnesota, reduces it by one as that is the team they need to pass in order to get in.

Here is the matchups between each other team. If there are sections that are redded out, it means that there is no mathematical way for that team to catch the other or to fall behind that team.

Hopefully the two images with the tables load at some point. I used links instead temporarily.

If the Flames go .500, they will have a 6-6-1 record for 92 points.

Each team will need to have the following records to beat that mark.

Vegas...................5-7-1
Edmonton.............6-7-1
Vancouver.............8-6-1
Minnesota.............9-6-0
Nashville........../...9-5-1
Winnipeg..............8-4-1
Arizona.............../9-3-1
Chicago..............11-2-1

I'll break down the remaining schedules for everyone in the hunt soon.

Red = Teams in the playoff hunt
Green = Teams that are above the Flames (except the Isles because they're in the east and barely ahead of the Flames)
Black = Lotto pickers
BOLD = home
Regular = Road

Flames Remaining Schedule - Vegas, Islanders, Winnipeg, Rangers, Islanders, New Jersey, Tampa Bay, San Jose, Anaheim, Vancouver, Winnipeg, Vegas, Edmonton

They seem fine? Just gotta copy and use the link to the actual image link, not the url to the imgur page with the image.
