The Calgary Flames took care of their own business on Sunday evening at the SAP Center. Needing a win to clinch first in the Pacific Division and Western Conference, the Flames were full marks in a thorough 5-3 victory over the San Jose Sharks.
The Rundown
The Flames were fairly flat early, bobbling the puck here and there in all three zones. That tendency led to a Dalton Prout turnover midway through the first period and a Sharks goal, as the home side recovered Prout’s gaffe and a few passes later Timo Meier beat Mike Smith with a quick shot to make it 1-0 Sharks.
