How the Calgary Flames can still miss the playoffs

This is the worst case scenario if you're a Flames fan. (1) Flames lose their remaining two games, and pick up 0 points. (2) Canucks pick up 4 points in their remaining two games. (3) Predators pick up 4 points in their remaining two games. (4) Colorado has already clinched a playoff spot, so their remaining game is kind of meaningless. However, let's assume Colorado wins their final game against Minnesota. The standings doesn't look good for the Flames. Colorado (95 pts), Nashville (93 pts), Vancouver (92 pts), Calgary (92 pts). Ties are decided first by most wins, then head to head record, then goal differential. Assuming this scenario plays out, the Flames and Canucks would have the exact same number of wins/losses/OTL (41-31-10). The deciding difference would be their head to head series. If I recall, the Canucks have the edge and would move them ahead, and leave the Flames out.
