But yes, the game tomorrow is vital. A 2-2-1 homestand right now could tip us right out of it. 3-1-1 is critical.

The fact that they aren't in our division doesn't really matter.
1) things could change and the Flames could become the 8th wild card seed.
2) (more relevant) if the Flames beat them tomorrow, their playoff chances pretty much die, which helps the situation next week. If the Stars win, they remain alive and thus still desperate next week
