The Stanley Cup playoffs start in six days and everybody wants to know who the Calgary Flames are playing in the first round? Well, folks, the possibilities are down to three teams.
Nashville Predators
Nashville sits in the first wildcard position in the West and, as such, would play the Flames (the lower-ranked of the two Western division winners) if the playoffs began today. Nashville has 94 points with three games left (100 points is their potential high point) and they have 35 regulation wins, 41 regulation/overtime wins and 44 wins total, which cover the three major tiebreakers.
