The San Jose Sharks are facing off against their division-mates, the Calgary Flames, for the first time this season. The Sharks’ roster is still decimated by COVID, but they’ve put together a remarkable showing despite their losses. They’ll have to bring their A-game against the Flames, who are currently second in the Pacific Division.
Calgary is just as rested as the Sharks (both teams played their last game on Nov. 6), with the benefit of the home arena and a 6-0 win over the New York Rangers to buoy them against the Sharks.
