So staying 6 points behind them is impossible unless the Habs go 3-4 in their last 7 while the Flames go 3-0. The Flames then have to go 3-1 against the Canucks on top of that.

So if the Habs, who are 5-6 in their last 11 games, go 3-4 in their last 7, the Flames have to go 6-1. According to sportsclubstats, even if the Flames go 7-0 there is an almost 50% chance of them not making the playoffs.

The chances of Montreal passing Winnipeg are much higher. And the chances of Ottawa passing Calgary are probably higher as well.

7-0 it is.


Also shut up!
