And I continue to think that the Flames have put themselves in an excellent position to hold that Pacific Division spot: They are three points up on SJ with a game in hand, and they own the first tie-breaker. After Wednesday the Flames will play 11 of their final 18 games are at the Saddledome. Moreover, three of their final four games are on the road at a time when most of the playoff seeding will have been set.
The Flames control their own destiny, and are in very good shape down the stretch.
