After 82 games of battling, the Calgary Flames will sit idly by on Sunday and watch other teams determine who they will face in the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs. There are two potential first round opponents for the Flames – the Anaheim Ducks or Edmonton Oilers – and a pair of Sunday night games will determine who they face.
The Flames finished the 2016-17 regular season with a 45-33-4 record and 94 points. They’re fourth in the Pacific Division and will finish the year in the first wildcard playoff spot in the Western Conference. They will play the Pacific Division winner, whoever that may be.
