Capitals won in regulation Bruins lost in regulation
OK, what am I missing here? It's my understanding (and maybe I'm wrong) that the Flames need to win in regulation to clinch. At least that's what I've read. But if LA beats the Flames in OT and then the Flames lose to the Jets and the Kings beat the Sharks, won't they still be tied points wise and Calgary having still more ROW's that the Kings? So don't the Flames only need 1 point to clinch?
Yes - Calgary needs 2 more points to clinch. Doesn't matter if its a regulation win, OT/SO win or two OT/SO losses. Once we get to 97 points, LA cannot catch us (due to ROW tie breaker)

Awesome. Thought someone said it had to be a regulation win so that's what threw me off. Going to suck for a team with possibly 97 points to miss the playoffs though.
JETS WIN: Jets qualify for playoffs
JETS LOSS/FLAMES WIN: Jets and Flames qualify.
JETS LOSS/KINGS WIN: The Saturday Jets-Flames game will likely determine who makes the playoffs. Kings would still have to beat the Sharks.
FLAMES WIN: Jets and Flames qualify
FLAMES LOSE: see above.
KINGS WIN/JETS WIN: Kings will need Flames to lose on Saturday to qualify, and win against San Jose
KINGS WIN/JETS LOSE: Kings will need Flames or Jets to lose in regulation on Saturday to qualify, and win or lose in OT against San Jose.
KINGS WIN and LOSE vs SHARKS: out
KINGS LOSE: out
*Disclaimer- this is just off the top of my head, so may not be 100% accurate.
* The Winnipeg Jets would clinch a playoff berth if they defeat the Colorado Avalanche in any fashion OR if they get one point against the Avalanche AND the Los Angeles Kings lose to the Calgary Flames in any fashion OR if the Kings lose to the Flames in regulation.
* The Flames would clinch a playoff berth if they defeat the Kings in any fashion.
must show all Flames games nationally when they play on Saturdays, Mondays, and Wednesdays !!!
