Tonight, the Calgary Flames (2-2-1, 4th Pacific) and San Jose Sharks (1-4-0, 8th Pacific) begin what projects to be an ugly season series at the SAP Center in San Jose. Last season, the two teams proved to be evenly matched, splitting the season series with two wins apiece, as both teams scored a total of 16 goals.
The Sharks, fueled by the recent addition of Patrick Marleau, are coming off of their first win of the season, a 5-4 thriller in the Windy City which saw the aforementioned winger find the back of the net twice.
