It’s all but official: four teams from the Pacific Division will be in the playoffs this year, and the Flames are one of them.
But while the eight Western Conference playoff teams should be decided and clinched within a matter of days, the matchups are anything but certain. Chicago and Minnesota look pretty secure to be the first and second teams in the Central, while Nashville and St. Louis will be battling it out for that third divisional spot.
In the Pacific, though, it’s a free-for-all. Anaheim leads the way with 93 points. San Jose and Edmonton are second and third with 91 points each, with San Jose holding the tiebreaker.
