I definitely think Flames will make it. The stats indicate that point wise Flames have been one of the hottest teams in the league the past six or so weeks, and I feel their overall game is rounding out. Markstrom goaltending cost the Flames at least several points earlier on, but he's playing a bit better now that the goaltending is not the reason Flames don't win games.
If Flames can make the PP more productive, then the team should have a strong second half, and likely earn a divisional playoff spot rather than a wild card. That's their main weakness right now since they're not taking advantage of their opportunities enough.
