|
| |  | SAN JOSE: LAST SEASON: 46-30-6, 98 points. Third place Pacific Division. Lost to Pittsburgh in Stanley Cup Final.
COACH: Peter DeBoer. (second season, ninth NHL season).
ADDED: F Mikkel Boedker, D David Schlemko, F Marcus Sorensen.
LOST: D Roman Polak, F Nick Spaling, F Dainius Zubrus, G James Reimer.
PLAYER TO WATCH: F Tomas Hertl. Hertl's knee injury in Game 2 of the final against the Penguins played a role in San Jose falling two games short of a championship. The question heading into this season is whether Hertl will be able to carry the third line as a third-line center, which would provide the depth that would make the Sharks a difficult matchup against even the top teams. Otherwise, he can go back to his role as a productive wing alongside Joe Thornton and Joe Pavelski.
OUTLOOK: A year after missing the playoffs for the first time since 2003, the Sharks had their best postseason run ever, making it all the way to the final before losing in six games to Pittsburgh. All the key pieces from that team are back along with the additions of Boedker's speed, Schlemko's improved puck-moving ability compared to Polak and several rookies like Nikolay Goldobin, Kevin Labanc or Timo Meier who could provide a boost. If the new additions provide the spark and the older core maintains its high level from the postseason, the Sharks should be able to contend for a title again. | | CALGARY: LAST SEASON: 35-36-11, 81 points. Finished 23rd in NHL after two consecutive last-place finishes, and missed playoffs for fifth consecutive season.
COACH: Dan Bylsma (second season, eighth NHL season)
ADDED: F Kyle Okposo, D Dmitry Kulikov, G Anders Nilsson.
LOST: F David Legwand, D Mark Pysyk, G Chad Johnson.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Jack Eichel. Selected with the No. 2 pick in the 2015 draft behind Edmonton's Connor McDavid, Eichel finished second among NHL rookies with 56 points (24 goals, 32 assists). The 19-year-old displayed breakaway speed and a powerful shot. Eichel is being counted upon to become more consistent now that he has a full season behind him. Eichel went through an 11-game slump spanning November and December, during which he combined for a goal and three assists.
OUTLOOK: The expectations are higher for a Sabres team that made the jump from rock bottom to being relevant by finishing 23rd last season following two consecutive last place finishes. Though missed playoffs for fifth consecutive year, Buffalo showed signs of jelling by closing last year with a 16-10-7 run. Additions of Okposo and Kulikov adds experienced top-line depth to young core. Big question mark is whether G Robin Lehner can establish himself as trusted starter after two injury-shortened seasons. |
| | Flames hope to clinch against slumping Sharks
CALGARY, Alberta -- The Calgary Flames let their emotions get the better of them against the Los Angeles Kings on Wednesday night. In the process, the Flames (43-30-4) dropped a 4-1 decision to the Kings at the Scotiabank Saddledome and missed out on an opportunity to qualify for the Stanley Cup playoffs. "We just didn't have any rhythm to our game," said Calgary coach Glen Gulutzan, who challenged his players on Thursday to learn from the emotion of the chippy affair against the Kings heading into their next game at home on Friday against the San Jose Sharks (43-27-7). "I think we need to do a better job of having better discipline over emotion." Although they didn't clinch their first playoff berth in three seasons, the Flames can still do so with a win over the Sharks or a loss by the Kings against the Canucks in Vancouver on Friday. "The good thing about that is we have five more games to do it," said Flames left winger Johnny Gaudreau, who vowed that he and his teammates will put the disappointing loss to the Kings behind them. "We learned from it. Obviously, a lot of young guys in our lineup. Come back (on Friday), hopefully clinch against San Jose." Following a 3-2 loss in Edmonton to the Oilers on Thursday, the Sharks will be looking to bounce back with a win over the Flames. "This league doesn't let you feel sorry for yourself," said San Jose coach Peter DeBoer. "We'll pick ourselves up, dust off, and get ready for that game (in Calgary)." The Sharks led the Pacific Division standings for most of the season before their recent slump that has seen them lose seven of their past eight games, including five in a row on the road. That allowed both the Ducks and Oilers to jump past them. San Jose sits in third, three points back of Anaheim and two behind Edmonton. The Flames are only three points behind the Sharks. Despite San Jose's recent troubles, right winger Jannik Hansen said the Sharks are playing better of late. "We're obviously getting closer to the playoffs here," said Hansen, who the Sharks acquired from the Canucks at the NHL trade deadline. "We need to have our game in the right spot. The last two games have been a whole lot better than the previous six." The Flames started the season series between the two teams with a 3-2 win over the Sharks in San Jose on Nov. 3. The Sharks responded with a 4-1 win on home ice on Dec. 20 before the Flames bounced back with another 3-2 victory on Jan. 11. The same two teams will wrap up their five-game series and their regular-season schedules on April 8 in San Jose. San Jose captain Joe Pavelski said the Sharks have to get back to the way they were playing early in the season if they hope to get back ahead of the Ducks and Oilers while fending off the Flames. "It's there, but there's more," said Pavelski. "Teams are showing up every night and playing hard. There's another level for us to get to." |
