The red hot Sharks (25-15-2) offense couldn’t keep it’s momentum and dropped tonight’s match-up with the Flames in thw 18th minute of play 3-2. San Jose came into the Calgary’s (23-19-2) famous ScotiaBank Saddle Dome scoring 15 goals in their last three contests and on the heels of putting together back-to-back 5+ goal games—after notably failing to do so in their first 39 games of this 2016-17 campaign.
After facing a total of 71 shots in the last pair of games against the Oilers and Red Wings, newly anointed All-Star goaltender Martin Jones got a much needed night off in lieu of his more than capable backup Aaron Dell in tonight’s second game of a short two game back-to-back sprint to Alberta, Canada.
