I think it is pretty hard to predict what is needed in terms of a record given the 4 point games this season. If the Flames win all 7 remaining games in regulation against the Habs (unlikely I know but just hypothetically) it would be very difficult for the Habs to catch the Flames. The Flames could like to under .500 for all their other games, have more than 13 losses and still make the playoffs. That being said they should win tonight, they are the much better team in this matchup.
