Flames lose series to Sharks on home turf

 

After playing 2 consecutive games where the Flames shot more than 35 times, it was clear they had very little gas for this game at home to close out the Sharks. With the Flames only able to muster 20 shots, the Sharks made easy pickings of the Flames.  

 

Jimmy Carson, Bob Errey and Randy Mckay would work together on 3 consecutive goals assisting each other on goals for all 3.  Keith Tkachuk would score his whopping 37th of the season on passes from Linden and Fedorov but Jayson More would score another one for the Sharks to close the period 4-1 in San Jose's favour.

 

Borsato would score for the Sharks right out of the gate in the 3rd making a 5-1 lead insurmountable.  Fedorov's 31st added a few minutes later would change very little.  Snow stopped everything coming his way with 14 saves.  San Jose 5- Calgary 2.  San Jose thus takes the season series.

 

The Flames have 4 games left in the season, 3 of which are against the Sabres!
