The Sharks (19-12-1) handily defeated the Calgary Flames (17-15-2) Tuesday night, riding a great performance by Martin Jones and a two goal night by Joonas Donskoi to a 4-1 win.
The Sharks broke a three way tie for first in the Pacific Division with Edmonton and Anaheim to move two points up with a game in hand over both clubs. The Flames, coming off of a 4-2 win in Arizona the night before, looked the part, playing a largely undisciplined game that showed signs of fatigue.
In a game where the Flames built a summer home in the SAP Center penalty box, the Sharks broke out with four even strength goals in Joe Thornton’s 1400th NHL game.
