San Jose – The goalkeeper of San Jose Sharks, Georgi Romanov, reached a few minutes from enjoying the most memorable night of his professional career on Monday, while taking a large part of the hopes of playoffs from the Calary Flames.
Romanov made 19 salvages in two periods, but the sharks allowed goals from the third period to Adam Klapka, Jonathan Huberdeau and Matt Coronato in a 3-2 defeat against the flames before an announced crowd of 12,654 in Sap Center.
Leading 1-0 in a first-period goal from Will Smith, the sharks allowed a 2 against Calgary when Nazem striker Kadri entered with Klapka after Timothy Liljegren could not keep the album in the flame area. After a shot by Kadri in the goal, Klapka crashed the network and beat Romanov for his fourth goal of the season in the 8:12 brand.
Huberdeau added a power set goal in the 11:00 brand of the third to give the flames the frame after Lucas Carlsson was called to Holding, and Coronato made 3-1 flames, scoring the winner of the game after stealing the Alexander Wennberg’s album.
Smith added another goal with 1:59 remaining in the regulation, and Romanov made 29 salvages, but the sharks lost their sixth consecutive game and finished their home with a 0-3-0 record. They will start a four -game road trip on Wednesday against Minnesota Wild.
Romanov now has 0-4-0 in six games with sharks this season.
The Las Llamas goalkeeper and Gilroy Dustin Wolf’s native made 29 salvages in victory.
“I thought we did some good defensive things,” said San José coach Ryan Warsofsky. “(We took time and space, we kill some plays, which we have spoken a lot. I really liked our first (period). Wolf made some good salvations.”
The flames entered Monday with 85 points, six points of the Wild of Minnesota for the second and last cupcase at the West Conference. Calgary had two games in his hand in Minnesota and will play Wild at home on Friday, but he still doesn’t have a margin of error to reach the playoffs. I desperately needed to overcome 32º sharks.
San José, he thought, was the best team in the first period, surpassing Calgary 18-8. Smith’s goal, his 15th of the season, arrived with 24 seconds before the intermediate and just after a Macklin celebrini forecheck.
Celebini won control of the album behind the flame network and got it about Nikolai Kovalenko, who found Smith open.
The top scorer Tyler Toffoli was lost Monday’s game with an injury at the bottom of the body and is considered day by day, Warsofsky said. Like Routta and Deschanais, Toffoli will probably also travel with the team to start the road trip.
Warsofsky said Toffoli has been dealing with the injury since the days after the 4 nations faced at the end of February. Toffoli has 28 goals in the team this season and is third in sharks with 50 points.
Kovalenko, a healthy scratch for the last six games before Monday, the place of Toffoli in the alignment.
Pit Sad: The NHL student association announced Monday afternoon that the former goalkeeper and announcer of the NHL Greg Millen had died suddenly and unexpectedly. Millen, who was 67 years old, became a announcer shortly after his 14 -year -old NHL career ended in 1992, and had been a colored analyst at flame broadcasts in Rogers Sportsnet in recent years.
Out of respect for Millen, Sportsnet did not have his stations, Jon Abbott and former Sharks Kelly Hrudey goalkeeper call the game. Instead, the Sportnet Tok the Sharks television broadcast.
Mukhamadullin made: Shakir Mukhamadullin is out for the season with an injury at the top of the body he suffered in last Tuesday’s game against the Anaheim Ducks.
Mukhamadullin, 23, spent the following days evaluated by doctors, Warsofsky said to determine the seriousness of the injury. Warsofsky did not say what the injury is and could not confirm if he would require surgery.
Sharks in the last place, the officers deleted from the playoff dispute last month, only have five remaining games. They will play their last game on April 16 at home against the Edmonton Oilers.
The injury will also prevent Mukhamadullin from competing in the Playoffs of the Calder Cup of the AHL.

Injury updates: The injured defenders Vincent Desharnais (superior of the body), Jimmy Schultt (lower part of the body) and Jan Rutta (lower part of the body) skate again on Monday. The debt was returned to the barracuda, but Warsofsky said that Bothnais and Rutta will travel with sharks on their four -game road trip and could be options to play at some point.
It reaches moisture: The Quentin Musty striker, one of the two first round of sharks in 2023, is expected to start practicing with the barracuda on Tuesday. Musty, 19, has just finished her fourth and probable final season of the Junior hockey last week, since he and the Sudbury wolves were swept in her best of 7 series against Frontenacs in the playoffs of the Onary Hockey League.
Musty had four points in three playoff games after he had 59 points in 33 regular seasonal games with the wolves. In 189 regular seasonal games with Sudbury in four seasons, Musty had 270 points, including a 102-point season in 2023-24.
