Here's my math:
Current 8th place team, Phoenix, has 29 points in 27 games, so they're earning 1.074 points per game. Project that over the remaining games, the 8th place team will have 51.5 pts.
So 52 points is the target.
Flames currently have 26 pts, so they need 26 pts in their remaining 22 games to get 8th.
If they can go say 6-3 in their remaining home games, they'll need 14 points from their 13 road games to hit the target.
