Need a lot of things to go right and that's a tall order for us Flames fans.

Actually:
They would tie the Wild only if Minny loses to San Jose and Calgary goes 3-0 including beating them.
If the Wild beat the Sharks and the Flames win their games in Cali then they'd go into their meeting with the Flames at 89pts and Wild at 93pts.
Flames beat Minny and now it's Flames 91/Wild 93
The Wild would then have two remaining (VAN, ANA) and the Flames three (SJ, VGK, LA)
We would need Vancouver (second of a b2b) or Anaheim to beat them in regulation, capping them at 95 points.
Flames would then need at least 5 of 6 points in their final three in order to finish ahead - 97 by winning out, or 96 with an OTL.
As Galadriel would say, the quest stands upon the edge of a knife..
