<p>The Calgary Flames were pretty good on Tuesday night when they hosted the San Jose Sharks. But a couple iffy goals past their goaltender early on, combined with some iffy defending in the third period, led to a game that was far closer than it should&#8217;ve been.</p>
<p>Ultimately, defensive zone lapses cost the Flames, and they dropped a 4-3 loss to the Sharks.</p>
<p></p>
<h2><strong>The rundown</strong></h2>
<p>The Flames got off to a good start, generating a few nice scoring chances early on. After a nice pass by Mikael Backlund sprung his linemates for an odd-man rush, Dillon Dube drew a penalty (on that rush). On the ensuing power play, Johnny Gaudreau dumped the puck right in on James Reimer, leading to a rebound and utter confusion among the Sharks penalty killers. A couple quick passes later and Gaudreau was all alone in front of Reimer with the puck, beating him to make it 1-0 Flames.</p>

<p>A little later in the period, the Flames scored again! A couple good possession shifts in the Sharks zone eventually wore down their defenses and paid off. Matthew Tkachuk intercepted a Sharks zone exit attempt. He went to pass it deep to Backlund, but the puck careened off a defender&#8217;s skate and went right to Dube in the slot. Dube buried the scoring chance to give the Flames a 2-0 lead.</p>

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>But the Sharks answered back before the period ended. Sean Monahan&#8217;s line couldn&#8217;t muster a zone exit, culminating with Monahan putting an exit attempt right onto the stick of Marc-Edouard Vlasic. Vlasic unleashed a quick wrister from the point that beat Jacob Markstrom just inside the near post to cut the lead to 2-1.</p>
<p>Shots were 14-9 Sharks (10-7 Sharks at five-on-five) and scoring chances 7-6 Flames in the first period.</p>
<p>The Sharks played a bit more of a structured defensive zone game in the second period, but the Flames took advantage of a miscue in the neutral zone to pad their lead. Gaudreau stole an errant puck in the neutral zone and entered the offensive zone with Backlund. He found Backlund with a precise pass, and then Backlund cut to the net, deked, and backhanded the puck past Reimer to make it 3-1 Flames.</p>

<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>Gaudreau drew a penalty shot in the second period after Brent Burns fouled him on a breakaway, but Reimer gloved his penalty shot attempt.</p>
<p>But the Sharks inched closer near the end of the period. A Burns point shot was stopped by Markstrom, but Timo Meier chased down the rebound and spun and fired. His shot from a bad angle – he was basically straddling the goal line in the far left corner of the zone – deflected in off Markstrom to cut the lead to 3-2.</p>
<p>Shots were 12-10 Flames (11-5 Flames at five-on-five) and scoring chances 14-9 Flames in the second period.</p>
<p>The Sharks tied it up midway through the third period, as the Flames got running around in their own zone and couldn&#8217;t clear the puck. Tomas Hertl made a nice pass from behind the net to Alexander Barabanov, who beat Markstrom from the net-front area to make it a 3-3 hockey game.</p>
<p>Just 28 seconds later, the Sharks took the lead. The Flames, again a bit scrambly in their own zone, were victimized by a few quick Sharks passes. Logan Couture beat Markstrom to make it a 4-3 Sharks lead. The Sharks held on for the victory.</p>
<p>Shots were 14-10 Sharks (14-5 Sharks at five-on-five) and scoring chances 11-7 Sharks in the third period.</p>
<h2><strong>Why the Flames lost<br />
</strong></h2>
<p>Let&#8217;s get this out of the way: Markstrom has had better nights. He&#8217;s definitely earned the benefit of the doubt, but he wasn&#8217;t particularly strong on this evening.</p>
<p>But after being really sharp for the first 30-or-so minutes of the game in their own end, the Flames struggled to adjust to San Jose&#8217;s forecheck and they just kept getting hemmed into their own zone in the third period.</p>
<h2><strong>Red Warrior</strong></h2>
<p>Let&#8217;s give it to Dube, who drew a penalty and scored a nice goal.</p>
<p>Tkachuk and Gaudreau were also quite good.</p>
<h2><strong>The turning point</strong></h2>
<p>Allowing two goals in 28 seconds in the third period was certainly not a positive.</p>

<h2><strong>This and that</strong></h2>
<p>Newly acquired forward Ryan Carpenter arrived in town on Tuesday night and was a healthy scratch.</p>
<p>This was the first time the Flames lost in regulation after leading through two periods. They were 31-0-2 in that situation prior to tonight.</p>
<p>The Department of Player Safety are going to have a couple things to review from this game. First, Markstrom speared Nic Meloche in the groin in the first period.</p>

<h2><strong>This and that</strong></h2>
Newly acquired forward Ryan Carpenter arrived in town on Tuesday night and was a healthy scratch.

This was the first time the Flames lost in regulation after leading through two periods. They were 31-0-2 in that situation prior to tonight.

The Department of Player Safety are going to have a couple things to review from this game. First, Markstrom speared Nic Meloche in the groin in the first period.

Tkachuk also angered the Sharks with a reverse hit on Jonah Gadjovich in the third period.
