Calgary currently have 61 points with 30 games left.
They would need to gain 33 points which would be a 16-13-1 record. or any equivalent record
San Jose has 61 points with 30 games left, the Flames have won the season series against the Sharks. so to pass the Flames they would need 34 points or a 17-13 or equivalent record
Winnipeg has 61 points with 29 games left Calgary has won the season series vs the Jets so they would need 34 points to pass the Flames. So they would need a 17-12 record
Vancouver has 59 points in 49 games Vancouver leads 2-1 in the season series so if they beat the Flames they would need 33 points to pass us. So their 33 game record would have to be 17-15-1
Colorado has 55 points in 51 games Calgary leads the season series 1-0. If the Flames win the season series, the Avs will need 34 points to pass the Flames or 17-14-0, if the Flames lose the season series the Avs will require 33 points to pass the Flames or 16-14-1
Just for fun, if the Flames want to pass the Hawks. The Flames have lost the season series. to the Hawks. With the Hawks on track for 102 points. The Flames would need to get 103 points or a 21-9 record over the last 30 games.
Hopefully I did this right.

Vancouver would still need to get the 94 points for the tie breaker to be relevant so they would need 35 points
33 points for the Avs only gives them 88 points
