HD’s Gut Feeling
The Saturday win over Edmonton moved the Flames within a point of 3rd place Minnesota and two points of No. 2 Colorado in the crowded Northwest Division. The Sharks have won five of the last six matchups but 4 of those were only by one goal (2 in a shootout) . 3-2 Flames – Iginla, Cammalleri & Giordano
