Winning a bunch in a row, then losing 8, now winning 4 and putting themselves back in the picture. Obviously the long losing streak can not happen again if the playoffs are a possibility.
My prediction. Flames go 8-3. They will win a few that are surprising, which they have done all year. There is just something about this team that has a winning feel to it every night. There never out of it. Even during the long losing streak, they could have easily won a few of those games with a break.

5-5-1 would actually put is a bit too far behind IMO. We'd be 26-20-4, meaning we'd have to get 40 points in the final 32 games and likely be behind 3-4 teams to get to the wild card spot.
