The Blues have the Jets, Oilers (probably seeking vengeance) and Avs twice, Utah who are chasing them, and Montreal is fighting for points and they face them tomorrow too.

It's not ten gimmes.

6 wins seems realistic for them. If there arent loser points in there, that's 93 points. Depending on if the Flames have the tie breaker end of season, to get in is probably 93 or 94. More likely 94 given that the Blues didn't lose over the weekend.

To hit 94:
8-4-1, 7-3-3, 6-2-5

That's probably the most realistic projection for a Flames team playing well (given that it won't be enough even on a good night to best some of these teams) that gives them a reasonable chance.

You have
4 games against the Cali basement clubs
2 games against teams outside looking in (SEA, UTA)
7 games against playoff teams (VGK x2, DAL, EDM*, COL, MIN, LAK*)

*Edmonton potentially without key players

4-0-0 vs cali
1-1-0 vs mid teams
3-3-1 vs playoff teams

Is roughly what they're looking at to get that record. When you break it down that way, it looks feasible. Flames won't be able to take any games off though, especially against those lowly teams. They'll have to bag points in those games.
