I think it's a big game for the exact reason you said, because the Flames haven't been able to string together a series of wins lately, and Dallas has been a pretty big kryptonite to them in recent years. Including the playoff series, the Flames have won only 4 of their last 16 games against them so a statement game would be nice.
But if the Flames are fighting for a wildspot with Dallas by seasons end, something has gone drastically wrong. In that case even if they make the last wildcard spot it's one and done against Colorado as Colorado, Minnesota, St. Louis and Nashville are making the playoffs.
No, the Flames should be looking at winning this game to keep pace with Vegas for the Pacific crown and not some ####ty wildcard spot.
