Yup! Preds get stomped and the Jets drop one off their easier games. Great OOT scoreboard.

If the Flames handle their business next two games and Arizona continues its hot play against the Jets on Tues, the Flames could be tied with the Jets after their Tuesday game, with 10 GR each. Seattle could still be within reach.

8-3-1 might do it. Maybe less if Wpg keeps tanking.
I think Nsh is going to fall off with their sched and injuries.
We have 7 games vs non playoff teams remaining.

Well, it ain't over.
And that's entirely on the two teams around them.
They're floundering.
The Flames are playing more confident and scoring at much better clip than those teams. They just need to turn their improved play into points consistently.
Sadly, the luck has yet to improve along with the team, which is still siphoning some points away from what they probably should be coming away with.
But the opportunity is there to close in.

Every game the Preds and Jets drop like this, the less daunting that record becomes
If the Flames can win the head to head with either team, that swings it even more
7 or 8 wins may end up being the bar

Amazing how the standings over a long season work out. In the west, eight best teams in goal differential are in playoff spots. Flames are ninth, with 8 in reach for both the standings and goal diff.
Not that different in East. Except Florida is 8 in goals diff and just barely in 9th in the standings.

Yup. If the Flames had league median goaltending this season then we'd be an extra +25 (+30 overall).
Even if we had the Oiler's goaltending this season we'd be +15 extra (+20 overall).

Seeing both the Jets and Preds shut out last night slightly revives my playoff hopes.

Nashville's chances of making the playoffs have fallen to only 7.3%.

Flames need to make hay tonight to put some more pressure on the Jets and Preds.
Games wise, the magic numbers are:
13.5 with the Jets, so in 23 games we need 13.5 results to go our way.
14 with the Preds, in 26 games we need 14 results to go our way.
Might as well put Seattle in here with a magic number of 16.5 with 25 games.
Jets are the target.

If the Jets go .500 the rest of the way, they'll have 92 points. The Predators, 90 points.
On the Jets' side, this actually seems fairly likely, considering they are 4-5-1 in their last 10.
I think 96 is already generously high. 95 probably gets it done. We'll see.
If the Flames beat both Nashville and Winnipeg, they'd likely need fewer points. That's a big if though.

I think 95 is now too high. I think 93 or 94 gets it done.
