No, this isn’t an April Fools joke. The Calgary Flames have officially clinched a playoff spot with their win over the San Jose Sharks last night. After somewhat of a rough start and not getting into a playoff spot until December, we all woke up this morning to see an X beside the Calgary Flames.
The Flames sit in the first wildcard spot, but sit just one point back of the Sharks for that third Pacific Division spot. They face the Anaheim Ducks two more times and the Sharks one more time in their last four games of the season.
