Flames look to clinch playoff berth against Oilers

Apr 7, 2007 - 5:47 PM Edmonton (31-43-7) at Calgary (43-27-10) 10:00 pm EDT

CALGARY, Alberta (Ticker) -- The Calgary Flames can clinch the Western Conference's final playoff berth Saturday when they meet the archrival Edmonton Oilers.

Calgary holds a three point lead over Colorado (43-30-7) for the final playoff spot. The Flames can clinch a playoff spot with a point in this contest.

The Flames would like to book their spot into the postseason in this contest since they visit Colorado on Sunday.

Calgary has lost consecutive games following a six-game winning streak.

The Oilers are suffering through a disappointing season and will miss the playoffs after having made a run to the Stanley Cup Finals last season. Edmonton is mired in last place in the Northwest Division.

Calgary holds a 5-2-0 advantage over the Oilers in the season series. They have won the last four meetings, outscoring the Oilers by a lopsided 15-3 margin.
