What four pointers are you talking about though? The games against van and Edmonton are four pointers for the division race but even if they went 0-3 in those, that doesn’t mean they fall out of the race for the final playoff berth.
The final playoff spot race is really about the central teams making a charge and Calgary only plays the Predators and Blackhawks before the deadline. Unless you consider the sharks still in the race but I certainly don’t.
It’s going to take a huge drop off for the flames to be out of the race for the final playoff spot by the deadline. I’m talking like 3-9 or worse. And that’s just not gonna happen or feels very unlikely.
