WPG could lose to MIN, lose to STL, and OTL to COL - probably not going to happen, but could.
LA would need to lose to VAN, OTL to EDM, lose to SJS - highly unlikely.
The Flames will need to at least win 1 of the LA / WPG games.

From a Jets fan perspective... my view on it is Calgary has an easy game against Arizona and then a very tough one vs LA. If Calgary splits those games... that means Winnipeg only has to win once next week in 3 games to make the final game a play in game.
Of course, if LA can be disposed of by Vancouver... then you guys beat them... that takes care of LA and can mean an overtime game between us last game of the year puts us both in. It's at that point I expect both teams to run a vicious trap with 0 forecheckers and 1 defenseman each laying across the goal line behind Hiller and Pavelec.
