from WesGilbertson of the Calgary Sun,
WILL THEY PUNCH A PLAYOFF TICKET?
At this point, it’s the only question that really matters.
Thanks to Sunday’s triumph, the Flames once again leapfrogged the Los Angeles Kings, moving one point ahead of the Stanley Cup champions for third spot in the Pacific Division standings. The Kings do have one game in hand.
The Flames are also just one point behind the Winnipeg Jets, who are clinging to the final wildcard position in the Western Conference.
The crew from Calgary has six games remaining on its schedule, and it’s made it clear the goal is to win all of them. That’s probably not necessary, but they certainly can’t afford many losses.
The Flames host the Kings in Game 81 and then travel to Winnipeg for their regular-season finale, so fans might want to start growing out their fingernails for what could be a nerve-wracking win-to-get-in scenario.
What’s left in the tank?
