I have modified the original post to have the both the Magic Number and the Elimination Number listed in two different ways. For the Points column under the Magic Number, that is the total number of points that the team listed needs to acquire or have the 9th placed team (LA) lose in order to clinch. In Anaheim's case, they need some combination of 6 points through W-L-OT between them gaining and LA losing. Under the Wins column, it's the same info as the Points column except divided by two. That way a win will subtract 1 from that column, an OTL 0.5 and a loss will not change anything unless you're the 9th placed team in which case that will lower the magic #'s for everyone by 1.
Calgary currently needs a combination of 2 points gained by us/lost by Los Angeles to clinch a playoff spot or 1.0 wins. This table does not count tie breakers because they are too changeable to keep track of, especially when the ROW would be hypothetically tied. Calgary does have the tie breaker on most of the conference, so in our case, you can remove 0.5 for a better indication of the actual #.
