The Calgary Flames were pretty good on Tuesday night when they hosted the San Jose Sharks. But a couple iffy goals past their goaltender early on, combined with some iffy defending in the third period, led to a game that was far closer than it should’ve been.
Ultimately, defensive zone lapses cost the Flames, and they dropped a 4-3 loss to the Sharks.
The rundown
The Flames got off to a good start, generating a few nice scoring chances early on. After a nice pass by Mikael Backlund sprung his linemates for an odd-man rush, Dillon Dube drew a penalty (on that rush).
