SAN
JOSE
Zach
Bogosian Jersey Womens , Calif. (AP) Evander Kane has done a good job
tormenting the Calgary Flames with his goal-scoring prowess and physical
play.Kane scored twice to give him six goals in his past two games against
Calgary and got into two scrums as the San Jose Sharks won their seventh
straight game, beating the Flames 5-1 on Saturday.¡±I¡¯m not a guy to shy away
from the physical part of the game,¡± Kane said. ¡±That¡¯s a big part of hockey in
my mind and a lot of people¡¯s. You don¡¯t see fighting as much anymore. But at
the same time I think it¡¯s very necessary and sometimes it calls for it.¡±Kane
followed up his four-goal effort in Calgary a week ago with another impactful
performance, scoring a short-handed goal in the second period to give the Sharks
a 3-1 lead and an insurance goal in the third. He also used his physical play to
get into a scrum with Mikael Backlund and a fight with Travis Hamonic.The Sharks
improved to 10-2 since acquiring Kane just before the trade deadline last month,
including this current streak that is the longest for San Jose since a
seven-gamer from March 25 to April 5, 2013.¡±This is the time of year you want to
be playing well, you want to get hot,¡± coach Peter DeBoer said. ¡±For me it¡¯s
about our game. The results are
nice
John
Moore Jersey Womens , the wins are nice. Out of the seven games this was
probably the sloppiest of the seven but we found a way to win.¡±Brenden Dillon,
Jannik Hansen and Justin Braun also scored for the Sharks, who moved six points
ahead of Los Angeles in the race for home-ice advantage in the first round of
the playoffs. The Kings played later Saturday in Edmonton. Martin Jones made 37
saves.Michael Stone scored the lone for the Flames, who have lost five straight
to fall out of the playoff race. Calgary trails Anaheim by nine points for the
final playoff spot with just six games remaining. David Rittich made 28
saves.The Flames have been outscored 25-7 during the skid despite outshooting
the opponent each game.¡±It seems like we¡¯re leading the NHL in moral victories
but it¡¯s not getting us any points right now,¡± forward Troy Brouwer said. ¡±It
resulted in another loss where we actually had really good stretches during the
game but ultimately no results.¡±The Flames were controlling the play in the
second period before Kane¡¯s goal turned the momentum back in San Jose¡¯s favor.
Calgary held San Jose without a shot on goal for more than six minutes to start
the period and had just started a power play when Kane struck for his goal.Chris
Tierney skated into the offensive zone and held the puck near the net as Johnny
Gaudreau skated past Kane, who was set up in front of the crease. Tierney then
slid a pass to Kane, who knocked it into the open net for his sixth goal with
the Sharks and 26th on the season.Kane then had his run-ins with the Flames late
in the second and early in the third before the Sharks broke it open with goals
from Braun and Kane midway through the third period.Dillon, who assisted on
Kane¡¯s second
goal
Chris

Hathaway to complete the Gordie Howe hat trick.The Sharks started fast and
scored twice in a span of 74 seconds midway through the first period with goals
by Dillon and Hansen.The Flames got one back with a blast from the point through
traffic by Stone.NOTES: The Sharks honored Jonathan Cheechoo, who recently
announced his retirement. ¡ Brent Burns¡® assist on Hansen¡¯s goal was his 49th of
the season, breaking the record he set two years ago for Sharks defensemen. ¡

period, the San Jose Sharks owned the last 40 minutes.Joe Pavelski got his fifth
career hat trick, including scoring twice in less than a minute late in the
second period, to give the Sharks a 5-3 win over the Detroit Red Wings on
Sunday.¡°I thought it was great the way we responded in the last two periods,¡±
Pavelski said. ¡°When we got in here after the first, Pete (coach Pete DeBoer)
told us how we
looked
Alex
Galchenyuk Jersey Womens , and we knew we were coming off a bad game last
night (a 4-0 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets). That¡¯s why it was so important
for us to step up and play the way we did in the last two periods.¡±San Jose
trailed 2-1 after a first period in which it was outshot 15-5. Red Wings
defenseman Mike Green made it 3-1, eight minutes into the second, with his fifth
goal of the season.But the Sharks scored three times within 2:55 late in the
second period to take a 4-3 lead. Pavelski, the team¡¯s captain, got the last
two, 55 seconds apart.His power-play goal with 4:10 left in the second tied the
game at 3-3 and Pavelski gave the Sharks the lead with 3:15 remaining in the
middle period. He completed the hat trick with an empty-net goal with a minute
left for his 35th of the season.Burns brought San Jose within 3-2 with his 13th
goal, with 6:10 left in the second period.¡°I thought that shot turned the entire
game around. We¡¯re down 3-1, we win a faceoff and he puts it
in
Carter
Rowney Jersey Womens ,¡± Pavelski said about Burns¡¯ goal, which came on a
wrist shot from the left point.¡°We all know he¡¯s got that shot in his locker and
we needed it right there. Then we get a power-play goal and we got
rolling.¡±Burns also had an assist and defenseman Tim Heed also scored for San
Jose, which outshot Detroit 32-8 in the last two periods and held the Red Wings
without a shot for more than 26 minutes in the second and third
periods.Defenseman Marc-Edouard Vlasic and Logan Couture had two assists each
and Aaron Dell made 20 saves.Sharks star defenseman Erik Karlsson did not play
because he aggravated a groin injury in a 4-0 loss to the Blue Jackets on
Saturday night.Green also had an assist and Darren Helm and Gustav Nyquist
scored for Detroit. Justin Abdelkader had two assists and Jonathan Bernier
stopped 32 shots.¡°We just didn¡¯t have the same dig. I thought those two quick
goals just crushed us,¡± Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill said. ¡°We spent the rest
of the game just trying to get the puck out of our zone to get a line
change.¡±Right wing Filip Zadina made his NHL debut for the Red Wings. Zadina,
19, was the sixth overall pick in the 2018 draft. He was minus-1, with one shot
in 10:38 of ice time. Zadina was recalled from AHL Grand Rapids, where he had 15
goals and 31 points in 45 games.NOTES: Madison
