The Calgary Flames ended their winless streak with a thrilling 3-2 victory against the San Jose Sharks. Joel Hanley's game-winning goal marked his first of the season, coming in the third period. Nazem Kadri added to his tally with his 20th goal of the season, while Kevin Rooney scored after a lengthy drought. The Flames now sit just one point behind the Vancouver Canucks for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference. Despite valiant efforts from the Sharks, including goals from Macklin Celebrini and Tyler Toffoli, they remain winless in five games and have lost six straight on the road.

Calgary's Dustin Wolf stood tall in net, recording 27 saves for his 20th win of the season, while Alexander Georgiev faced 36 shots, suffering his sixth consecutive loss. The game showcased key performances, particularly from Kadri, who continues his streak of scoring 20 goals in every season since joining the Flames. The Sharks' Celebrini, with his 18th goal, leads the rookie race, edging out Matvei Michkov. The Flames look to build on this momentum in their upcoming game against the Washington Capitals.
