Based on current trend 94 points is probably the fewest the Flames could get to have a chance.
Oilers: 3-6-1 - 94 points
Wild: 3-6-0 - 94 points
Blues: 4-3-1 - 94 points
---------------------------------
Canucks: 7-3-0 - 94 points
Flames: 7-3-1 - 94 points
Utah: 9-0-1 - 94 points
It's not unheard of...but it's going to be very tough and really need to get something out of these next two games because ideally they needed 4/6 from the 3 games against Dallas, Edmonton, and Colorado. Really they need another 4 games winning streak here (@ Oilers, @ Avs, @ Utah, vs Ducks).

Tankathon actually supports the chances that the Flames can get back into this thing. To steal from myself:
Tankathon - The Flames have the 20th hardest remaining schedule (L10 = 5-3-2)
- Canucks have the 4th hardest remaining schedule (L10 = 5-4-1)
- Blues are 10th hardest... last update showed the leap from 32nd to 14th. (L10 = 8-1-1)
- UHC are 18th hardest (L10 = 4-4-2)
- Wild are 24th hardest (L10 = 5-4-1)
The Flames need to win out against the Ducks and Sharks, beat UHC, take out the Oilers and Wild. That would get them to 7 wins. Then, hopefully we get a resting Vegas and Kings to close out the season where they are secure in their playoff positions. Some combination of that would get us to 95 points, which feels hugely optimistic.
The Blues remaining games can hopefully play out like this:
@ Avs = Loss
vs Red Wings = Win
vs Penguins = Win
vs Avs = Loss
@ Jets = Loss
@ Oilers = Loss
@ Kraken = Win
vs UHC = Win
4-4-0 would leave them at 93 points.
Canucks remaining schedule:
@ CBJ = Win
@ Jets = Loss
vs Kraken = Win
vs Ducks = Win
vs VGK = Loss
@ Stars = Loss
@ Avs = Loss
vs Wild = Win
vs Sharks = Win
vs VGK = Win
The last 3 games of the season for the Canucks, they are getting all of the Wild, Sharks, and VGK where the team plays in Calgary the night before. Even the earlier VGK game the Canucks are getting them straight from Calgary. Pretty gross April scheduling advantage for the Canucks. Hopefully they get 6 or less wins out of that schedule and land at 92.
