Flames also have one more road trip to the eastern time zone, while everyone stays in the west. Flames are not a lock. Things could get very interesting in short order.

The only way the Flames miss the playoffs, IMO, is if they go 0-3 against LA.
They need to stay in their lane and get Dougie and Stone as healthy as possible.
