4-5 points can mean a lot at this point in the season. It does not allow for any slides. COL has to play 10 games over .500 to have a better than 50% chance at the playoffs. I'd say they are done. DAL needs 9 games over .500.
Flames need 6-7 over .500.
Certainly a winning streak or losing streak by any of these teams will change the math, but no one can afford inconsistency. The teams that get in will be "hot" going into the playoffs.
