If they can get to the Apr 11th head to head game and be close then that game will be the difference. Flames, Blues and Wild all play 3 games leading up to that head to head on the 11th.
CGY has games LV, @SJ, @ANA
STL has games COL, @WPG, @EDM
MIN has games @NYI, DAL, SJ
Flames go 2-1 and the others go 1-2 it will bring the magic number down to 5 for the Flames for each team. The Flames win that H2H in regulation and it goes down to 3 with Flames having 3 games left and the Wild 2.
Half glass full me can see a path there. Blues would need to go 0-3 or the Flames 3-0 in this next stretch, I think, to be brought back into the conversation.
