The Flames boosted their postseason chances with a 2-1 win over the Avalanche on Sunday night. "Right now we're going to need the gods on our side to make the playoffs," Alex Tanguay said. "We're hanging onto our slim chances. If we go out and lose a game we're out." Calgary moved to within one point of eighth-place Chicago and two points of Anaheim, which both lost Sunday night. The Blackhawks have played two fewer games than Calgary and one fewer than the Ducks. "We're within reach again," Flames coach Brent Sutter said. "I know the games in hand are still there, but you can't worry about that. We tightened the gap. We're right there again, and let's see what happens."
