Well the Flames are 5 points up on 10th place with 2 games in hand. So if they lost 5 in a row the Blues would have to go 2-0-1 in order for the teams to be tied. Seems unlikely that the Blues would pull that off.
A more likely scenario given the games in hand is that the Flames lose 8 in a row and the Blues go 3-3 and then the Flames limp into a top 10 draft spot. Of course if they maintain the 10th spot for the rest of the year and a team below the top 10 win one of the lottery spots they lose the pick anyway.
But the Flames probably have to lose 8 in a row and then continue to be bad for the rest of the year to get a top 10 pick.
