Just The Facts (Mostly Facts)
-The Flames will look for a better showing than the last time these two met, with Calgary falling to San Jose 5-3. Calgary out shot the Sharks 43-26, but came up well short in that contest.
-Jacob Markstrom will certainly be looking for a bounce back performance tonight after his last start. He was brilliant against the Sabres, but his gaffe in OT cost the Flames a win AND it cost him his 10th shutout of the season which would have tied Miikka Kiprusoff’s franchise record.
-We should get a look at news Flames forward Carpenter tonight. Carpenter was traded to Calgary from Chicago and has 3 goals and 8 assists in 59 games so far this season.
-The Flames are well ahead of SJ in the standings (22 points), but don’t tell the Sharks that. They’ve played each other twice this season and defeated the Flames by a total score of 9-4.
-With that said, San Jose is a mess. The Sharks are 5-13-7 in their last 25 skates.
-In those last 25 games San Jose has been shutout 3 times and have had losing streaks of seven games and three games twice.
