The preseason is often full of strange hockey games. On Tuesday night at the Scotiabank Saddledome, the Calgary Flames hosted a San Jose Sharks club that was light on established National Hockey League players. Despite this, those fledgling Sharks pushed the Flames to the limit in a wild 7-5 Flames victory.
The Rundown
The Flames started this game off slowly, being out-shot handily early on. They finally got some offensive zone time, but Michael Stone’s point shots were blocked and that allowed Joakim Ryan to spring Barclay Goodrow on a breakaway. He beat Rittich to make it 1-0.
