The Flames lead the Nashville Predators by one point for the first wild card into the Stanley Cup Playoffs from the Western Conference. "It's an important game for us, obviously," forward Johnny Gaudreau said. "You can see how close the standings are. Every game's important. Obviously we're very, very happy we've clinched but I don't think we take our foot off the pedal just yet. We have an important four games here to go and they're big games for us." Calgary, which is 16-4-1 in its past 21 games, clinched a playoff berth with a 5-2 win against the Sharks on Friday. "You focus on who you're playing and in the standings you want to move up but you want to bring your best," forwardKris Versteeg said. "You still want to stay on that roll. You want to stay fresh and have that excitement going into each and every game that you're trying to move up the standings instead of being content that we've just made the playoffs. There's lots of things that go into the next four games no matter who you're playing." Goalie Brian Elliott, who is 15-2-1 with a 1.99 GAA and .934 save percentage in his past 19 games, will start.
