In the penultimate game of the 2018 preseason calendar, and playing against the most stacked lineup they’ve seen so far, the Calgary Flames looked pretty good against the San Jose Sharks. With roughly 95% of their big league lineup dressed, the Flames got out to an early lead and then hung on for a 4-3 victory in the Shark Tank.

The Flames were chasing a bit early and gave up the first goal. Erik Karlsson’s initial point shot was stopped, but the Flames had trouble containing the traffic in front of Mike Smith and Antti Suomela poked in the rebound for a 1-0 Sharks lead
Later in the period, with Sean Monahan in the box, the Flames evened things up while killing a penalty.
