For the second time in as many games, the Calgary Flames weren’t an amazing hockey club tonight. However, they were a lot closer to what they usually are than they were on Wednesday. They were bad with the puck in the first period and okay with it in the third, but they rode a really strong second period to a 5-2 victory over the San Jose Sharks at the Saddledome.
As a result of this win, the Flames have clinched a playoff berth.
THE RUNDOWN
The entire first period was rather disjointed, with neither team looking particularly poised.
