Flames conclude regular season against Avalanche

Apr 8, 2007 - 5:40 PM Calgary (43-28-10) at Colorado (43-31-7), 9:00 pm EDT

DENVER (Ticker) -- The Calgary Flames did everything they could to set up an exciting regular-season finale. The Colorado Avalanche did not hold up their end of the bargain.

The Flames conclude their regular season Sunday when they visit the Northwest Division rival Avalanche.

The contest could have determined the eighth and final Western Conference postseason berth thanks to Calgary's current three-game skid.

But Colorado dropped a 4-2 decision to Nashville on Saturday to remain three games behind the Flames, turning Sunday's contest into nothing more than a postseason tuneup for Calgary.

It marks the first time in 12 seasons that Colorado will miss the playoffs. The Flames dropped a 3-2 decision to the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday, but only after learning of Colorado's loss.

Tony Amonte had a goal and an assist and Stephane Yelle set up both tallies for the Flames, who will face the top-seeded Detroit Red Wings in the conference quarterfinals.

The Avalanche lead the season series with the Flames, 4-3-0.
