And to 'fall out of the wildcard', they would have to be passed by the 9th place team. And one of the WC teams that passed them would have to be in the Pacific (or they would still be in 3rd).
In other words, for the Flames to fall out of the playoff picture, they would have to be passed by either Vancouver, Arizona, or - wait for it - Edmonton.
CAL: 34 - 16 - 7, 75 Pts
VAN: 26 - 26 - 7, 59 Pts
ARI.: 25 - 27 - 5, 55 Pts
EDM: 24 - 27 - 5, 53 Pts
VAN is on pace for 82 pts.
For the Flames to get to 82, they need only go 3 - 21 - 1 the rest of the way.
