Bottom line is the Flames have to out perform Winnipeg by seven points in the next 18 games and hope Nashville does not outperform them as well. Nashville having three games in hand means they actually project to 72 points based on winning percentage in even games, so the Flames have another team to vault past. It's a three-team race and the Flames are trying to reign in the other two. The trend is still 97 points to get in. Flames need 28 points in the last 18 games. Ten games above .500, so 12-2-4 or 13-3-2 or 14-4-0. That would be quite the heater to get on (.778 winning percentage) going into the post season and put the fear of god into anyone having to play them. It's a path, but a narrow one.

For sure.
Just semantics then. I see it six out, but need seven to pass for sure. Just wouldn't have phrased it as seven out.
The Jets are on a 96 point pace so the Flames need 97. To do that they need to go 14-4-0. Can't see it.
So then you need the Jets to slide a few points, and the Predators not to become the new chase team.
