If LA goes 4-1-0, that would leave them with 98. If Flames go 3-1-1, that would leave us with 98. Is that enough to beat out LA for a playoff spot?
I guess what I'm asking is that if we tie LA for total points at the end of all this, are we in??

As the last page or two shows, that's a complicated answer. And frankly, probably not one worth worrying until both teams have played at least another game (that exponentially reduces possibilities. 5 and 6 games worth of possibilities is too much).
But unless we suddenly start winning a whole lot of games in shootouts, and/or get a handful of loser points while LA gets ROWs, chances are we will have the tiebreaker.
