Calgary Flames vs San Jose Sharks: Preview
The Calgary Flames are coming off a disappointing loss that ended their playoff dreams.
Despite some strong underlying numbers, Calgary's inability to finish games has plagued them all season. Jacob Markstrom didn't quite live up to his Vezina-worthy performance from last year.
On the offensive end, Tyler Toffoli has been their standout player, but acquisitions like Jonathan Huberdeau and Nazem Kadri have not lived up to expectations.
Meanwhile, the San Jose Sharks have known their fate for some time and have struggled in the final stretch of games.
Erik Karlsson has put up impressive numbers as a defenseman, while Logan Couture and Tomas Hertl have had solid seasons as well. However, San Jose's power play has been a weak point all season.
The game could go either way, as the Flames will want to end their season on a high note in front of their fans, but morale could be low. The Sharks have played with house money for a while, but have also been prone to being blown out.
Ultimately, it will come down to goaltending and whether Markstrom can continue his strong record against the Sharks. It's a game that both teams will want to win to close out their season, but the Calgary Flames may have the edge in this one.
