I broke it down, if anyone cares. Here are the various scenarios...
MIN loses in reg, the Flames get 4 pts: 9% chance
STL loses in reg, Flames get 3 pts: 12% chance
STL loses in OT, Flames get 4 pts: 2%
STL wins in OT, Flames get 2 regulation wins: 2%
By my unofficial calculations, they have a 25% chance (though these numbers do not factor quality of competition, which, frankly, is too difficult to quantify when teams have different motivations at the end of the year)
