Game Overview
The Calgary Flames host the San Jose Sharks in a Pacific Division matchup on November 14, 2025. The Flames are struggling near the bottom of the standings with a record of 4-12-2, while the Sharks are performing above expectations at 8-6-3. The game is set for 9 p.m. ET (02:10 UTC) and will be broadcast on ESPN+.
Key Factors to Consider
- Calgary Flames have lost three straight games and are near the bottom of the league in both goal production and defensive consistency. Their offense has sputtered, and they have struggled to generate high-quality chances. The Sharks, on the other hand, are surging with momentum and growing confidence, having won their last game in a shootout. San Jose has shown better balance between offense and defense, and their recent form gives them a clear edge.
- Recent head-to-head matchups have been competitive, but the Sharks have generally had the upper hand in the last few meetings. The Flames have struggled to contain San Jose's offense, and the Sharks have capitalized on Calgary's defensive lapses.
- No major injuries have been reported for either team as of the latest updates. Both teams are expected to field their strongest available lineups.
- The Flames are playing at home, which could provide a slight boost, but their recent home record is poor (2-4-1). The Sharks have a solid away record (4-3-0) and have shown resilience on the road. The game will be played in front of a home crowd, but Calgary's struggles may limit any home-ice advantage.
- The Flames are desperate for a win to stop their losing streak and improve their standing. The Sharks are motivated to continue their upward trajectory and solidify their position in the playoff race. The Sharks' recent success and momentum give them a psychological edge.
