|
| |  | CALGARY: LAST SEASON: 35-40-7, 77 points, finished 13th in the Western Conference and missed the playoffs.
COACH: Bob Hartley, fourth season with Calgary, 383-291-61-45 overall.
ADDED: LW Brandon Bollig, D Deryk Engelland, G Jonas Hiller, LW Mason Raymond.
LOST: D Chris Butler, LW Mike Cammalleri.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Johnny Gaudreau. Offense was a major issue for the Flames, who finished 23rd and 24th, respectively, in goals per game (2.46) and power play percentage (15.7). Gaudreau, the reigning Hobey Baker winner, recorded 80 points (36 goals and 44 assists) in 40 games with Boston College.
OUTLOOK: With the possible exception of John Tortorella, who attempted to fight his way into the Calgary dressing room during the first intermission of a Jan. 18 game in Vancouver to ostensibly express his displeasure about a line brawl following the opening faceoff, Hartley and the Flames earned praise around the NHL for their hardworking style of play. Even with the addition of Gaudreau and friends to the lineup, don't expect the Flames to change their modus operandi. But it's too much to ask the Flames to compete for a playoff berth. | | SAN JOSE: LAST SEASON: 51-22-9, 111 points. Lost to Los Angeles in first round of playoffs.
COACH: Todd McLellan, 7th season with Sharks, 271-130-57; seventh overall in NHL.
ADDED: F John Scott, F Tye McGinn, D Taylor Fedun.
LOST: D Dan Boyle, D Brad Stuart, F Marty Havlat.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Joe Thornton. Despite finishing second in the league in assists last season, Thornton was stripped of his captaincy this summer in response to the Sharks' playoff collapse against Los Angeles. San Jose became the fourth NHL team to lose a best-of-seven series after winning the first three games. That prompted a search for new leaders. Thornton expressed no desire to leave San Jose but how he reacts to the new role and how he plays this season will be key questions going forward.
OUTLOOK: The Sharks began the offseason with general manager Doug Wilson talking of rebuilding and becoming a ''tomorrow'' team after being a Stanley Cup contender for most of the past decade. Wilson has altered his stance a bit and the players still believe this team can compete with the other powers out West. Much of the success will hinge on continued improvement from younger core players like Marc-Edouard Vlasic, Logan Couture and Tomas Hertl; Brent Burns' move back to defense from forward; and more depth on the bottom two lines to take pressure off Thornton and Patrick Marleau. |

*Flames-Sharks Preview* =======================
By NOEY KUPCHAN STATS Writer
Calgary (13-8-2) at San Jose (10-9-4), 10:30 p.m. EDT
The San Jose Sharks are still looking to get back in the win column after a third straight loss their last time out.
A visit from the Calgary Flames could help them do just that.
Slumping San Jose goes for an eighth home win in nine tries against the Flames as these Pacific Division foes meet for the first time Wednesday night.
The Sharks (10-9-4) are trying to snap an 0-1-2 slide following Saturday's 4-3 shootout loss to Arizona. Tommy Wingels and Andrew Desjardins erased an early 2-0 deficit and Joe Pavelski scored the tying goal 7:47 into the third period, but San Jose came up empty on all three shootout attempts.
"Slow starts, they always hurt," Pavelski told the league's official website. "We worked, we kept going as the game went on. We had chances there at the end. We just have to find a way to win. ... It's still about managing the game when the game is tied, making that simple play. We've got to learn that lesson over and over. But it's got to stay with us one of these times."
The Sharks went 1 for 4 on the power play, failing to convert on an opportunity in overtime. They have been limited to 1.8 goals per game during a 2-4-2 stretch.
Antti Niemi made 22 saves against the Coyotes, dropping to 1-4-2 with a 2.68 goals-against average in his last seven games. However, he's 12-2-1 with a 2.18 GAA against the Flames after allowing seven goals during a four-start winning streak in the series.
The Sharks have outscored Calgary 34-18 in taking three straight and seven of eight home meetings. Pavelski has tallied eight goals and nine assists during that eight-game stretch, while Logan Couture has posted four and four, respectively, in six home matchups.
The Flames (13-8-2) had put together a 4-1 homestand before opening a three-game trek with Tuesday's 3-2 loss at Anaheim. T.J. Brodie and Jiri Hudler had goals for Calgary, which cut the deficit to one with 26 seconds left after entering the third period down 3-0.
"We have to do better," goaltender Jonas Hiller said. "We can't just hope we win every game in the last five minutes after being down. Coming from behind might work once in a while and it shows a lot of character.
"We've got to be ready from the first minute on. We got outworked in the first two periods. You can't just flip a switch."
Hiller stopped 26 shots against his former team, falling to 2-3-0 with a 3.39 GAA in his last five starts. He's allowed three or four goals in each of those appearances.
HIller is 1-1-2 with a 2.88 GAA in his last four meetings against the Sharks. Each of those defeats came in San Jose, where he's gone 3-4-2 with a 2.29 GAA.
Backup Karri Ramo has won his last two starts against the Sharks, stopping 60 of 62 shots.
Flames defenseman Mark Giordano ranks first in the NHL at his position with 24 points, 17 of which have come in the last 13 games. Hudler has scored in three of the last four, giving him six goals and five assists over a 12-game stretch.
Giordano has five points in his last six visits to San Jose.
