For the hope crowd this game is huge, as Montreal's recent success has made the Oilers the target if the Flames are to get in.
Currently the Oilers are on a 68 point pace.
The Flames need to go 17-2-0 to catch them.
If the Flames win in regulation tonight, it would bring the target down by two points, and the Flames would then need to go 15-3-0 the rest of the way.
If the Flames lose in regulation tonight, it would move the target up a point, and the Flames would then need to go 18-0-0 to finish with 70 points.
Big game!
