Let's cut San Jose come slack. They are in a slump but just came home from that brutal road stretch of playing 15 of 19 on the road! This is a talented team, and the Sharks are 48-21 in their last 69 home games. They face a Calgary team that is #20 in goals allowed and #29 in penalty killing. The Flames came off of a five-game homestand with a 3-2 loss at Anaheim last night to start this three-game trip. It's been a one-sided series as San Jose goes for an eighth home win in nine tries against the Flames. The Sharks have outscored Calgary 34-18 in taking three straight and seven of eight home meetings. The home team is 6-1 in the last seven meetings, and the Flames are 1-7 in the last eight meetings in San Jose. Take San Jose.
