I checked the standings and things are looking a bit less bleak every day, even when the Flames aren't playing.
Winnipeg now has the same amount of games played and points as the Flames. There's one team we've caught up to.
Dallas has 1 less game played and the same amount of points. That's another team we've pretty much caught up to.
Vancouver has 2 less games played and 2 less points. Safe to say they will lose at least one of those games in hand. One more team we've caught up to.
Colorado and Phoenix both with 4 less games played and 5 less points. Both of them are under .500 and very unlikely to go on hot streaks so we're fine.
That said, it seems we're officially a bubble team now and in the mix. We just need to catch up in points percentage with the teams that do currently hold playoff spots.
