Flames just need to weather the storm early on. Sharks played last night, and will have their skating legs early on, and I expect them to skate hard for the first period and do their best to put this one away early. If the Flames hold on for the first 20 - even down by a goal - then you can expect the Flames to really start out-skating the Sharks in the 2nd and especially in the third. Flames score early in the first, and I bet the Sharks stop skating hard early on.
Good guys win in a lopsided game - 8-2. Smith with 2 assists.
