SAN JOSE – The Calgary Flames may be struggling this season, sitting seven points out of a playoff spot with just 30 to go. But if there were ever a proverbial trap game for the Sharks, who have been playing an impressive brand of hockey for more than a month now, this would be it.
Consider:
*Johnny Gaudreau, Sean Monahan and Lance Bouma were all healthy scratches for the Flames’ last game against Toronto due to showing up late for practice. They should be extra motivated.
*The Flames are currently on their dad’s trip, so, really, the whole team should have some extra juice.
