The streak is dead: long live the streak. For just the second time in 12 outings this season, the Calgary Flames left a game with zero standings points to show for it. They generated a lot of shots, but few goals, in a tight 4-1 loss to the San Jose Sharks (a team currently dealing with a COVID-19 outbreak that’s taken out several key players).
The rundown
Neither team was particularly great in the first period. The Flames took a couple penalties but the Sharks couldn’t do much with their power plays. The Sharks did a good job defending the middle of the ice, but the Flames also had some challenges connecting on their passes – particularly on breakouts.
