If you replace the sv% to .918 from .899 (combined that's what it is between them), then the goals against drops from 196 to 160. Assuming the Flames would surrender less than 13 empty net goals as well, say cutting that in half to 6, the Flames would have a +15 goal differential. That's the same differential as Nashville, better than Anaheim, Colorado, Minnesota and only slightly worse than either SJ or LA.
So we would at least be in the talk of a wild card spot if that were the case.
