Calgary Flames vs San Jose Sharks Main Game Info

Calgary Flames vs San Jose Sharks Moneyline Prediction

The Sharks were outshot 35-23 in a 5-1 loss to the Ottawa Senators on Saturday, marking their third loss in their last four games (1-3-0). With a 4-5-1 record over their last 10 outings and three or fewer goals scored in each of their last three, they have been trending in the wrong direction.

The Flames have had their own struggles. A 5-2 loss to the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday means they’ve lost two of their last three, following a four-game winning streak from October 18 to 26. Calgary has allowed 11 goals over that three-game stretch.

Goaltending has contributed to both teams’ struggles. The Flames and Sharks both rank in the bottom half of the league in goals allowed per game, so neither side has enjoyed particularly reliable play between the pipes. As a result, the goaltending matchup may not be enough to swing the game in either team’s favour, regardless of who gets the start.

Despite their recent struggles, the Flames have the better record over their last 10 outings, having gone 6-4-0. San Jose has also lost four of its last five at home, strengthening Calgary’s case as an underdog worth backing.

Calgary Flames vs San Jose Sharks Projected Starting Goalies

The Flames have been underwhelming in net, and their situation could become even more complicated if backup Arsenii Sergeev (.848 save percentage) gets the nod. The Sharks haven’t been much better, with both of their netminders struggling. Neither goalie looks likely to have a decisive impact on the outcome.

Calgary Flames vs San Jose Sharks Player Prop

Joel Farabee has been playing at a high level lately, scoring five goals across the Flames’ last six outings. The 26-year-old winger has recorded 10 points and 13 shots on goal over that stretch.

Farabee plays on the top line and the first power-play unit and is currently averaging a career-high 18:29 of ice time per game. This looks like a favourable matchup for him to keep his scoring streak alive, as the Sharks have allowed the second-most shots per game (31) and the second-highest xGA total (40.94) this season.

Calgary Flames vs San Jose Sharks Total Goals Prediction

The Flames average 2.57 goals per game (28th), while the Sharks haven’t been much better, ranking 26th at 2.67. Both teams have struggled defensively. San Jose ranks 22nd in goals allowed per game (3.40), while Calgary has the fourth-worst defensive record in the league, conceding 3.71 goals per game (28th).

Three of the Flames’ last four games have gone over 6.5 goals. Although the over hasn’t been as common in the Sharks’ recent outings, the defensive issues of both teams can’t be overlooked. Expect an open game with plenty of chances between two underwhelming defences.

Calgary Flames vs San Jose Sharks Team News and Injury Report

Calgary Flames Team News and Injury Report

Calgary will be without red-hot goaltender Devin Cooley, who suffered a lower-body injury against the Edmonton Oilers and is considered week-to-week. As a result, Dustin Wolf should see more playing time.

The Flames are also missing Samuel Honzek (lower body) and Jonathan Huberdeau (hip), leaving them short on forward depth. Maxim Tsyplakov and Aydar Suniev are expected to take on larger roles. If healthy, Honzek and Huberdeau would be in the top six.

This will be the Flames’ second away game of a three-game road trip, which began with Saturday’s loss to Colorado. Like San Jose, Calgary has had one day of rest.

San Jose Sharks Team News and Injury Report

The Sharks currently have five players listed on their injury report, but the biggest absence is Igor Chernyshov, who’s dealing with an upper-body injury. His absence has allowed Collin Graf to move into a top-six role.

Macklin Celebrini (16 points in 13 games) remains the team’s go-to offensive player, but several other players have also posted solid numbers recently. Michael Misa has been picking up steam, with three goals over his last six games, and Kiefer Sherwood has recorded five points over his last five appearances.

San Jose is 1-2-0 on its current homestand, which concludes with this matchup. The team has had one day of rest.
