The Sharks are coming off a loss to Carolina Saturday, where they ended it a one goal game. On Friday, the Flames lost to Pittsburgh 4-0.

On Sunday, the Sharks put Vlasic on the IR and recalled Demelo.

So, the question for Monday’s game is: will the Sharks come together and play their hearts out, or they be beat down by the Flames who have come out on top so far this season against the Sharks?

They’ll have to work a little harder as the Flames’ dad are on this trip with them.

Hiller the probable starter for the Flames. Glencross returning to the lineup.

Sharks have one win in four games against the Flames thus far this season.

But a late breaking story may overshadow the game: the Sharks acquire Evgeni Nabokov from Tampa Bay (for future considerations). (It’s assumed he’ll announce his retirement on Wednesday)

Niemi for the Sharks as starter.  Wingels back in the lineup; Tarasov to IR.

Pregame news/links

Sharks managed one goal (scored by John Scott, his second of the season — career high, doubling this season his entire career output), but gave up 3.  And with those two points, Calgary tied the Sharks in points, and passed them in the standings.

Seems like the Sharks are really missing their depth, sitting on IR: Brown, Braun, McGinn, Torres, Wingels.  Tonight, offense and defense could have improved.

Definitely not a “couldn’t take my eyes off the screen” game.  Sigh.

Back to it tomorrow in Vancouver.

Sharks are on the road for a couple of games in Western Canada.  First up Calgary. Tomorrow Vancouver.

On Wednesday, the Sharks are in the spotlight as the only late game, one of three in the league.

Tuesday night was the first episode of the 4-episode Road to the Stadium Series.  Episode summarized nearly two weeks of play and prep, emphasizing the All Star activities of Brent Burns and time off with Joe Thornton.

Stalock vs Hiller.  McGinn to IR; Tierney recalled.  Optional skate for Sharks, so unclear what the lines/pairings will be.

So, the Sharks did solve Ortio better than any other team this season, getting three past him; but Marleau’s breakaway save could have been the deciding goal.

Instead, the Flames took a fast lead, scoring on their first shot of the game, notched a shortie, and the Sharks had to catch up then take the lead, and give up the tying goal in the third, and lost in early OT.

Couture was told that his cracked teeth were a result of him diving, or a teammate’s stick, so not a penalty.  (Really?  I mean REALLY?)
