The Flames looked great, or the Panthers looked awful on Wednesday night. Or perhaps a bit of both.

Either way the Calgary top six looked as dangerous as they have in years, which is sure to give the team some confidence on this trip.

But how will they do?

The club has 40 games left and needs to be roughly 7 games over .500 as a projection to make the playoffs. 24-16 would get it done, but that certainly suggests the team can't afford any rough 5 game segments.

The next 5 gamer are all road games and the team likely needs to win 3 of 5 to get the ball rolling (8 5-game segments would be 8 games over .500 with 3-2 records in each)

So how many points do they get on this road trip?

Bonus question of the day ... how many points does Bennett pick up on this road trip?
