I didn't include the top 4, because I don't see Chicago, Vancouver, St. Louis or Anaheim falling far enough off their current paces in a shortened season to be in any sort of danger of missing the playoffs.



#5 - San Jose (.607) - 58
#6 - Nashville (.594) - 57
#7 - Phoenix (.563) - 54
#8 - Edmonton (.536) - 52
---------------------------
#9 - Minnesota (.533) - 51
#10 - Detroit (.533) - 51
#11 - Dallas (.531) - 51
#12 - Colorado (.464) - 45
#13 - Calgary (.464) - 45
#14 - Los Angeles (.462) - 44
#15 - Columbus (.381) - 37

Looks like roughly an eight horse race for maybe three playoff spots, and the Flames are riding on a donkey.

Good luck beating out well coached perrenial playoff teams like Phoenix, Nashville and Detroit.....as well as the defending Cup champs, who are bound to get their groove going eventually.

Flames required points percentages in remaining games to reach certain point levels:

56 - 43/68 (0.632%)
55 - 42/68 (0.618%)
54 - 41/68 (0.603%)
53 - 40/68 (0.588%)

So you're saying there's a chance?
