Edmonton
Calgary
Colorado
Flames have a good shot - but honestly it's going to be tough to either say in front of Colorado - or to chase down one of the teams in front of them.

All these teams won't get over 95 points
I have this conversation with people every season...2nd half is heavily weighted in conference and divisional games...somebody is going to win and somebody is going to lose. If the Flames get to 95 they are beating a lot of these teams. Same goes for everyone else.
We can say 96 to please solid snake but this seasons pace is lower...not every single team will play better in the 2nd half. The Flames are in a spot after 45 games with 51 points.
Math
There is a reason every sportsbook favors the Flames to make it, its not a homer take its math and odds.
The IF is actually getting that point total...how other teams play is almost irrelevant honestly because if you get your points you will make it.
No western conference team has ever missed the playoffs with 96 points
