Basically there were 2 different games we were worried about each with 6 possible outcomes (Home reg win, Home OT win, Home SO win, Away reg win, Away OT win, Away SO win). Meaning there were a total of 36 outcomes going into tonight that would directly impact the Flames chances of finishing ahead of these 3 teams, If you were to ask at the start of the night what is the worst case scenarios were.
#1/2, Win ROW win & LA OT Win
#3/4, Win ROW win & LA SO Win
#5, Win ROW win & Van SO Win
Meaning there were 31 options for how this night could have gone better.
It was only a little bit of help.
But as I said, a hell of a lot better than #1 or #2.
That said without a win yet in April the wild have slowly gotten pulled back into this race, they play Stl, Chi & Nas and need 3 points to clinch, far from a given.
