The Calgary Flames will have another chance to clinch a playoff spot today. They could have clinched on Wednesday with a win over the Los Angeles Kings, however it was a failed attempt and they lost 4-1.
They’ll be facing the San Jose Sharks, a team they have already met three other times this season and whom they’ll see one more time this season, the last game of the regular season for both teams.
This game is almost essentially a four-point game for the Flames. The Sharks have been one of the top seeds in the Pacific Division almost all season long, but just the last couple of weeks, they’ve fallen and they’re now third in the Pacific Division.
