You’d think five goals would be enough to win a game, but that’s not the case when you let in eight. The Sharks allowed a goal on the Flames’ first shot of the game and that pretty much set the standard.
Johnny Gaudreau, Sean Monahan, Matt Tkachuk and Elias Lindholm, all of whom were mentioned in the game preview as having scored a lot of points, scored a lot of points. Monahan led them all with five assists.
The Sharks never controlled play in a meaningful way.
Sam Bennett will have an automatic hearing with the Department of Player Safety for his late high hit that injured Radim Simek in the third period.
