Joel Hanley's late game-winner propelled the Calgary Flames to a 3-2 victory over the San Jose Sharks, breaking a three-game winless streak. Hanley's goal came in the third period, marking his first goal of the season after a long drought. Nazem Kadri also scored, marking his third consecutive season with 20 or more goals, while Kevin Rooney ended a 24-game scoring drought.

Sharks rookie Macklin Celebrini continues to impress, leading all rookies with his 18th goal of the season. Despite a strong performance, including several shots on goal, the Sharks remain in last place and have lost six straight on the road. This match showcased the contrasting fortunes of the two teams as Calgary fights for a playoff spot while San Jose struggles to find consistency.
