Flames sit exactly where they deserve to in the standings. I don’t see Vegas, Seattle, or the kings falling out of a divisional spot. That leaves the flames, oilers, Avs, blues , preds battling it out for the final 2 wildcard spots.
Oilers have hung around while missing a top 6 forward for over a month and a half, so I expect them to improve a bit in the latter half.
Avs getting key guys back as well.
I voted that the flames make it, which I’m unclear about. They aren’t a good team, they are precisely mediocre, so the playoff wildcard spot is basically 50/50 at this stage.
