For the Oilers to clinch, their number is 28. They need a combination of points they get, plus points the Flames miss, totaling 28 (in other words, ain't happening)

It took Oilers winning 6 in a row against garbage teams to get to within 6 points of the Flames, and they have one less game left. Even if they win their final 10 games (and thus going 16-0), Flames would have to be 6-5 for Oilers to pass them. I mean, I guess that could happen, but how probable is it?
