The last time the Sharks played the Calgary Flames, the Sharks got pushed around and beat up, both on the scoreboard and physically. The 8-5 whooping on Dec. 31, 2018 included a nasty play by Sam Bennett that sidelined Radim Simek for about a week. This will be the first time these two teams face off since that showdown.
Not much has changed since that December meeting. The Flames (34-14-5) are still tops in the Pacific Division with 73 points. The Sharks (31-16-7) are within striking distance with 69 points. Both teams are also firing on all cylinders.
