If Calagry goes 9-0, they'll catch someone, but likely not the Kings.

Magic number for the Flames to pass LA is 14. So a Flames 9-0-0 and a 4-5-0 by LA would do the trick.
Tonight is a big night.
Magic numbers (Games/Points) for the Flames to finish
1 point ahead of the team. So no tie breaker is required if they hit the number.
Los Angles (14/28) 9 games left
Edmonton (13/26) 9 games left
Minnesota (10.5/21) 7 games left
St. Louis (10/20) 7 games left
---------------------
Vancouver (8/16) 8 games left
Utah (6.5/13) 8 games left
Flames 9 games left.
Obviously the big one is the combination of a Flames win and Blues loss. It would bring the magic number down to the same as games remaining for the Flames. Any time the team has games equal to or greater than the magic number, they control their destiny.
