You never know, see the Flames without Giordano two seasons ago, but really they don't need to be just as good. They are already ahead of the Kings in point-percentage. If they win today, they leap frog ahead of LA with still a game in hand. When LA is playing Edmonton and Calgary, the Blues are playing Phoenix and Colorado.
Worst case scenario for the Blues is 3x 3 point games between Calgary and LA, but both teams will be eating at each other's points regardless. If Calgary slaughters LA, the Blues will almost certainly be ahead of them. If LA slaughters Calgary, pretty much the same thing.
I think betting that St. Louis finishes ahead of at least one of those teams is a pretty easy bet to make.
