Nope
Kings max pts = 97
Flames only beat Kings = 97pts = in
Flames only beat Jets = 97 points = tie breaker = in.
Flames lose both in overtime = 97pts = in
Flames loss to Kings & loss to jets.
Jets = 98 + Colorado game.
Flames = 95 pts + tie breaker
Kings = 95 pts + a games against the sharks,
They need to hope the Sharks win so they are in.
If the Flames add only 1 over time point in the 2 games, they can afford the Kings taking the Sharks to overtime, but the Kings would still have to loss.
The Flames are no longer in the wild card race, they can finish 2nd or 3rd in the Pacific or 9th.
edit, sorry took me 5 minutes to go through all the options, and you figured it out.
