SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — Jonathan Huberdeau scored twice and the Calgary Flames beat San Jose 3-1 on Saturday night, handing the Sharks their seventh straight loss. Mikael Backlund also scored and Nazem Kadri had two assists for the Flames, and Dustin Wolf had 21 saves. Macklin Celebrini got his 12th goal of the season for San Jose, and Yaroslav Askarov stopped 30 shots. The Sharks are 0-6-1 during their skid, and 1-9-1 over their last 11 games.
Calgary took a 2-1 lead at 6:50 of the second period on Backlund’s power-play goal. Backlund has five points (three goals, two assists) in his last five games. Huberdeau had an empty-netter in the closing seconds, giving him a team-leading 15 goals. Celebrini, who had the tying goal early in the second, leads all rookies in goals and is tied for the lead in points (27). Takeaways Flames: Calgary has won consecutive games for the first time in more than a month since winning fourth straight on Nov. 23. Sharks: Forward Carl Grundstrom left Saturday’s game in the first period with an unspecified injury and did not return after taking a hard hit from Flames defenceman Brayden Pachal. Key moment Huberdeau’s early goal set the tone for Calgary. His team-leading 14th goal at 4:40 of the first period came on a deflection. It extended his goal streak to three games. Key stat Calgary had six off days going into Saturday since a Dec. 21 6-4 win against Chicago, and the extra rest appeared to pay off against a fatigued Sharks team that was coming off a 6-3 loss to Vegas on Friday. Up Next Flames play at Vegas on Sunday, and Sharks host Philadelphia on Tuesday. __ AP NHL: https://apnews.com/hub/nhl Gideon Rubin, The Associated Pres
