It's unfortunately set in stone: the Calgary Flames will not be part of the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs.

It became official when St. Louis beat Utah 6-1 during the second intermission of the Flames' own game with the Vegas Golden Knights. 

Earlier, Minnesota took the other wild-card spot by getting a point after forcing overtime in the final minute of their game against Anaheim.

The Flames season was highlighted by the coming of rookie goaltender Dustin Wolf, who is in the running for the Calder Trophy for rookie of the year. Other young stars that made an impact include Connor Zary and Matt Coronato.

Calgary still has one more regular season game left. It is a Thursday away encounter against the Los Angeles Kings. Considering the elimination, another highly touted prospect, Zayne Parekh, could make his debut in that game.
