What a difference a season makes. Last season, the Calgary Flames were the NHL upstarts, looking to make some waves as the dark horses in the pacific Division pushing for a playoff spot while the San Jose Sharks were the NHL’s basement dwellers. This season, the tables have turned. The Flames, at 4-12-2, currently hold the worst record in the league by a fairly large margin. The team’s minus-20 goal differential certainly isn’t helping matters. The Flames have lost its last three games, while the Sharks have won its last four and are 7-2-1 in its last ten.
For the Flames, it’s hard to pinpoint exactly one issue. The team’s top scorer is Nazem Kadri, but he only has 11 points in 18 games, which isn’t exactly high scoring. Kadri is the only player on the Flames who is double digits in points. For comparison’s sake, the Sharks have seven players who are double digits in points. Blake Coleman is the Flames top goal scorer with six goals. The Flames’ power play is also having a tough time, it has only converted 11.5% of the time, worst in the NHL.
In the net, Dustin Wolf is 4-10-1 for the season. He has a 3.24 goals against average and a .893 save percentage. According to MoneyPuck, he is a minus-5.1 goals save above expected.
The Flames will also have some new blood in the lineup. The team has recalled Rory Kerins from the AHL. The 23-year-old has played five NHL games and is still waiting for his first NHL goal. He’s lighting up the AHL with 14 points (5G, 9A) in 13 games.
San Jose Sharks lines tonight
Goaltender Alex Nedeljkovic is still away from the team with a personal matter so the the Sharks have called up Jakub Skarek according to the Bay Area News Group’s Curtis Pashelka.
We presume Yaroslav Askarov will start again in the absence of Nedeljkovic. As for the rest of the lines, this is what San Jose Hockey Now’s Sheng Peng reports the lines will look like. Timothy Liljegren gets back into the lineup and Shakir Mukhamadullin sits.
