Game Day Preview: The Calgary Flames vs The San Jose Sharks (April 7)
Published 2 months ago• 1 minute read
, I have no doubt the PK unit will continue their great form in this upcoming game. It also helps that the Sharks power play is the sixth-worst in the league. Still, it’s probably best not take a hungry young team, one with the Calder Trophy front-runner, lightly considering their power play percentage of 20.0 against Calgary is a modest 16th amongst all teams.
On the offensive end, the Flames have enjoyed showering Sharks goalies with shots on goal, putting up 34.5 per game, the third-most against any team.
However, the Flames powerplay unit has gone 2-for-9 on the man-advantage against San Jose.
After Saturday’s embarrassing powerplay showing, Calgary needs a comeback, and an emphatic one at that.
