"So far, the San Jose Sharks' road trip is going okay. The team would have liked to get that extra point in Central Alberta, but three out of four potential points is a good way to start things off. This afternoon, the Sharks have a chance to make some headway in the playoff race with a win over the Calgary Flames. While it's a bit early to be standings watching, here's where the Sharks stand as of this morning."
"While San Jose is outside looking in, today is one of those games in hand against Anaheim, so San Jose could leapfrog the Ducks. Meantime, the Utah Mammoth are playing the Dallas Stars, and the Seattle Kraken are playing the Vegas Golden Knights, which means the Sharks have the very real possibility of jumping all the way to third in the Pacific Division with a win today. Just something to think about as you're scoreboard watching today."
"The Flames have traded away one of the team's biggest assets since the last time these two teams played. Calgary sent Rasmus Andersson to the Vegas Golden Knights in exchange for Zach Whitecloud, Abram Wiebe, a 2027 first-round pick and a 2028 second-round pick that becomes a first if the Golden Knights win the Stanley Cup this year. Whitecloud is expected to play for the Flames today."
The San Jose Sharks' road trip began with three of four possible points after an extra point was missed in Central Alberta. A win over the Calgary Flames would help in the playoff race and serves as a game in hand on Anaheim, with the Sharks potentially rising to third in the Pacific Division depending on other results. The Calgary Flames sit 31st at 21-26-6, are 3-5-2 in their last ten and have lost five straight, most recently 4-1 to Minnesota. Calgary traded Rasmus Andersson to Vegas for Zach Whitecloud, Abram Wiebe and future draft picks; Whitecloud is expected to play. Nazem Kadri leads Calgary with 35 points; Mikael Backlund has 32 and Matt Coronato leads with 14 goals.
