Seems like they are in the exact same position as the Flames, unlikely to make the playoffs but still in the mix. They are three points back of the Capitals but they win the tiebreaker. Flames are 3 points back of the Oilers but the Oilers win the tiebreaker. There are a couple other teams that the Flames could catch, unlike the Isles but the Isles have the benefit of winning the tiebreaker against Pittsburgh and Washington. Should be an interesting finish. Sorokin gives them a chance to go on a heater, having a stud goalie is a positive for them compared to teams like the Pens and the Sabres.
