Flames 2, Sharks 1 (SO): Mike Cammalleri beat Alex Stalock high to the glove side in the third round for the only goal of the shootout as host Calgary posted its fifth win in seven games.

Joe Colborne scored in regulation for the Flames, who finished 2-0-1 at home against the Sharks this season. Karri Ramo made 33 saves before denying all three attempts he faced in the bonus format.

James Sheppard tallied for San Jose, which moved two points ahead of second-place Anaheim in the Pacific Division and clinched its 10th consecutive trip to the postseason. Stalock turned aside 26 shots as the Sharks earned at least one point for the 11th time in 12 contests (8-1-3).

San Jose opened the scoring with 1:49 remaining in the first period. Matt Nieto's shot from the high slot hit a defender's stick and went right to Sheppard, who fired the puck past Ramo for his second goal in two games.

The Flames pulled even with exactly two minutes left in the second on a nifty passing sequence. Defenseman Tyler Wotherspoon received the puck from Curtis Glencross and made a slap pass from the left point to Colborne, who beat Stalock from the bottom of the right faceoff circle.
