Here are the remaining games that the six teams in the hunt have against each other...

Vancouver: 6 of 19 (SJS, WPG x 2, LAK x 3)
Minnesota: 3 of 19 (CGY, LAK, WPG)
Winnipeg: 5 of 18 (CGY, MIN, SJS, VAN x 2)
Calgary: 3 of 19 (LAK, MIN, WPG)
Los Angeles: 6 of 19 (CGY, MIN, SJS, VAN x 3)
San Jose: 3 of 17 (LAK, VAN, WPG)

The five games that Vancouver has against the Jets and Kings will go a long way towards determining who gets in and who doesn't. If they win all 5, they'll be pretty solid, but if they lose all 5, they could be on the outside when the season ends. Of course, worst case scenario is for all of those games to go to OT and the Canucks get 8 of 10 and their opponents get 7 of 10.

2 of the Flames' 3 games against the "hunt" teams are the final two games of the season, so there's a good chance things will already be determined before those games are even played. I don't know if that plays in the Flames' favour or not.
