The Sharks, who visit Edmonton on Thursday, play four of their last seven games on the road. They've lost three straight away from HP Pavilion and are 4-7-3 in their last 14 road contests.

San Jose is 2-8-0 with a tie in its last 11 visits. The Flames lost 5-2 in their last game at the Pengrowth Saddledome on Jan. 6 after falling behind by three in the first period.

The Sharks also lost 3-2 at home to the Flames nine days later, dropping to 1-2-0 in the season series.
Calgary could use some scoring from Jarome Iginla, who leads the team with 84 points but has managed one assist over the last four games. That matches his total in the season series with San Jose. For the best NHL hockey odds head to the Bodog Sportsbook.
