So if you take current points and take into account home and away games left plus win % for both the final standings would look like:
Dallas 107 central 1
Seattle 106 pacific 1
Winnipeg 103 central 2
Vegas 103 pacific 2
Edm 99 pacific 3
LA 98 WC1
Minn 97 central 3
Colorado 97 WC2
Flames 93 out
Nashville 93 out
So 96 or 97 points is probably the benchmark to get in. Which means the Flames have to win at least 19 of the remaining 31 games. Potentially 20. Tall order.
Or someone really has to fall apart down the stretch. Like Vegas. Which is happening.
I think it will be decided in the last week. But the Flames have to stop shooting themselves in the foot.
