When the Flames made the playoffs in the 2014-15 season, their record was 45-30-7. After game 61 they were 33-24-4. So they have the same number of OTLs as they did when they made it, but three less wins. The big difference was in 2014-15 they beat the Oilers all 4 times they played them. This year they lost all 4 games against Edmonton. If the Flames had beat Edmonton the 4 times this year, the record would be 35-21-4. They'd be 4 points up on the green snake, and 2.585 points above the black line. They would need only 22 points in the last 21 games to hit the 96 point mark.
