SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Even a win to end the regular season wasn't enough to help the San Jose Sharks open the playoffs at home after blowing a nine-point lead in the division in the final month.
Chris Tierney scored one goal and set up Mikkel Boedker for another in the second period to help the banged-up Sharks beat the Calgary Flames 3-1 in their regular-season finale Saturday night.
The defending Western Conference champion Sharks dropped nine of their final 12 games to fall from first to third place in the Pacific Division.
