And if the Flames win in regulation, that Jets loss could be in OT.
Each team has 4 other games:
If the Flames beat the Jets in regulation:
- The flames need to earn 1 more point than the jets in the other 4 games
- The Jets would only need to match the points of the Flames in the other 4 games
If the Jets win in regulation:
- The Flames would have to earn 5 more points than the Jets in the other 4 games, so the Jets would only need to go 2-2 in the other games to guarantee ahead of the flames.
If the Flames win in OT:
-the Flames would need 2 more points than the Jets in the remaining 4 games for each team.
- The jets would have to be 3-0-1 in their remaining games to guarantee finishing ahead of the Flames
If the Jets win in OT:
- The flames would need to earn 4 more points in the remaining 4 games for each team.
- The Jets would need to be 2-1-1 to guarantee finishing higher than the Flames.
NOTES:
- The Flames play one of their 4 games prior to playing the Jets, the Jets play all 4 after.
- The Flames cannot be mathematically eliminated in the next two games even with regulation losses against Chicago and Winnipeg.
