Around the NHL 2024 25

Calgary is sure making it interesting.. I have a feeling they somehow might pull this off
They'll pretty much have to win their last 3 and hope St. Louis or Minnesota loses their last game. Unfortunately they have 2 tough games left after tonight, Vegas and Kings. But both teams will probably be resting a lot of players so who knows, it could happen.
 
Flames about to beat Sharks so they're now 2 points out of wildcard with 2 games remaining compared to 1 game remaining for Wild and Blues. Not sure who gets the spot if points end up tied.

Flames wouldn't have the tie breakers over either team so they'd be out. They need the blues to lose in regulation and to get 3 points in their last 2 games to have any real hope. Or have the Blues lose in OT and win the last 2 games. Harder to catch the Wild, Flames would need to win the last 2 and have the wild lose in regulation. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Blues last game is vs Utah and they haven't been lying down for anyone to end the season, so who knows. Anything can happen
 
In the event Calgary ties Minnesota and the Blues with 96, Minnesota is in no matter what.

Calgary would get in if they won all 2 in regulation AND the Blues beat Utah in a SO or OT.

If Calgary won all 2, but at least one was in a SO or OT, they’d lose the wins in regulation tiebreaker to the Blues and Minnesota and the Blues would be the WCs.

The only way Minny misses wildcard is
them losing in regulation to Anaheim, Calgary winning out, and the Blues beating Utah.

Interesting scenario might be Calgary needing regulation win and pulling their goalie late 3rd if it’s a tie game

I thought Calgary was done when they blew a 3-1 lead against Anaheim and lost in OT last week.

Tuesday night is going to be interesting for Jets fans. If anybody falters the Flames could have a chance to take the spot on the last game of the season, which is a makeup game from the wildfires. There's an advantage now to playing teams comfortably in the playoffs because they can take their foot off, rest key players, and the hungrier team can dominate those type of games. Those teams that are out but have full rosters, and nothing to lose, are more dangerous at this time of year.

I'd like to see the Wild miss the playoffs after spending time at 1st overall in the league this season. The refs helped them in the Vancouver game. That said I think the Jets could sweep the Wild. Calgary would not be as easy. If Wolf played in Montreal he'd be the hands down Calder winner.
 
Will need a slide ruler to figure this out...

Min 81 - 44 - 30 - 7 : 95 Pts. 33RW
St.L 81 - 43 - 30 - 8 : 94 Pts. 31RW
Cal 80 - 39 - 27 - 14 : 92 Pts. 30RW

Tuesday's games:

Utha @ St.L
Anahiem @ Minn
Vegas @ Calgary

Thursday game:

Calgary @ LA

I guess the only sure thing , is if Minn wins , the Jets would play either St.L or Calgary

Montreal - Chicago should be a good one tonight. If they lose this one they are in real danger of being passed by Columbus.

Columbus would just need to win their last 2 and have Montreal lose to the canes
