from Scott Burnside of ESPN,
The San Jose Sharks continue to play their way out of the comfort zone and into playoff danger.
Their 3-1 loss to the red-hot Calgary Flames at the Saddledome on Wednesday dropped the Sharks into third place in the Pacific Division, just two points ahead of the fourth-place Vancouver Canucks, who currently holds down the second and final wild card spot in the Western Conference. And the Canucks have three games in hand. The Flames poured three goals past Alex Stalock in less than nine minutes in the second half of the second period to secure their third win in a row.
The Sharks, meanwhile, lost for the second straight game after falling in a marthathon shootout to the Edmonton Oilers on Monday. That sets up an interesting tilt for the Sharks on Thursday night in Vancouver.
