If they didn't play these teams and/or the teams didn't play each other you'd have a small point. Because this isn't the case, you don't.
Simple scenario for you: Calgary loses the next game and LA wins the next game. Calgary is behind LA in the standings. Calgary wins their remaining games. How do they need any help if they win out? You mentioned if Calgary wins 11 and someone wins 12 they are still ahead. I understand that. How does Calgary not finish in the playoffs if they win their remaining games, especially when they play the teams that are in front of them? Specifically they play LA. Since they would be tied in points and if Calgary won the final game (controlling their destiny) they get in. That has nothing to do with 96 points.

If they pass us by two points and then we win out and LA wins out -1, we'd be tied so now where hoping that we have more ROW than them. I guess in that specific situation we'd be in control but completely dependant on the tie break, which might changed at that point.
Or we can just stay ahead of them. Much easier.
