The Calgary Flames returned from their Christmas break with a crucial game that begins a string of several crucial games. The Flames visited the San Jose Sharks. They played 25 really good minutes and then 35 fairly decent minutes, but fell 3-2 in a shootout to the Sharks.
It was a solid effort on an evening where they needed a little more than solid game to get two points.
