The Calgary Flames have been in this spot for the last couple weeks. Actually, the wild card playoff spots in the Western conference looks different practically every game.
The Flames are right now in the first wild card spot. However, they have 40 points in 38 games. The Dallas Stars, who have just sneaked their way into the second wild card spot, have 39 points in 37 games. Then we have the Los Angeles Kings and the Nashville Predators. Now, these two teams aren’t in a playoff spot right now, but they very well could be.
