First tiebreaker is regulation wins.
If Flames win out in regulation, they would hold tiebreaker over the Blues unless the Blues won in regulation. It's a long shot, but need every chance possible right now

[agulati]

I want a regulation win just to avoid the stress of overtime

[Rhett44]

We never win in ot so I hope they go all out to win in regulation.

And a single point keeps the Blues in reach I think?

[midniteowl]

Win in regulation, if not win in OT. Just get the effing 2 points.

[442scotty]

We’re going to lose aren’t we. Because that is the way lol

That's a very specific scenario anyhow.

STL have to win in OT
Flames have to win the rest in regulation.

I think no matter what they'll need a MIN/STL loss on tuesday to do it. I just fully expect one of the VGK and LA games to go to OT.

Just win in any fashion.

You only do that in game 82.

If the Blues lose in regulation the Flames could get in with two wins.

[icarus]

Is this Eric Francis's new schtick? Ribbing the broadcast booth?

[dino7c]

If the Blues lose tomorrow they only need 95 points. 2-0-1 would do it in these last 3. I dont recommend the 1 vs. SJ but you cant risk the point

Weegars getting the GWG

95 doesn't beat the Wild, even if they lose Tuesday

Difference is Kraken and Canucks have considerably more points than the Sharks, who are on a lengthy losing streak, and playing a goalie that hasn't won a game this season. This is a game that the Flames should be leading in the scoreboard the whole time if they want Tuesday to even matter. But...

...the Flames are trying after the brutal first give minutes. But the lack of finish is prevalent this game. So we'll see if this third period shows once again effort prevails over talent, or does it finally catch up to them and ends their faint playoff hopes.

[Brodie66]

If the Flames only get 1 point then the Wild clinch and we can only hope for St. Louis to lose in regulation on Tuesday

Oh yeah they have 95...just Blues.

Cant risk the point still

Good catch, they're already at 95 and have the tiebreakers.

Flames still have to win out to pass Minnesota if they lose in regulation.

Beauty Sharky!

The good Shark on the ice.
