I think they're likely to miss. The way they're trending indicates that. They're not getting the same goaltending they used to and that was a major pillar of their system/style of game being successful.
Recent struggles aside, the Flames' underlying stats and goal differential indicate they are probably still better than the California teams and should surpass them once games played is equalized.
Calgary just needs their goaltending to play closer to its average again rather than below it, which has been the case of late, and more wins should follow suit.
