Toffoli put Calgary ahead 1-0 15 seconds into the first period off a pass from Dillon Dube following a turnover by Matt Benning before Dube skated across the crease and swept the puck past Reimer after an Erik Karlsson turnover to make it 2-0 at 30 seconds.

They put another centreman out there, Lindy won the draw and we went in there and scored. “That’s what you want, right?” DeSimone said after morning skate at SAP Center, familiar territory after starting his professional career with the AHL’s San Jose Barracuda. The 28-year-old DeSimone logged his NHL debut in early November. “So to put Tanny in there, it gives you some stability.” “We’re best buddies,” DeSimone said. DeSimone joined the Flames in San Jose, summoned from the farm after fellow defenceman Dennis Gilbert landed on injured reserve. “So I give our team full marks.” This could have been a story of one that slipped away. (Doug Risebrough and Colin Patterson set that standard against the Hartford Whalers in 1987.) The speedy winger pestered Erik Karlsson into a dreadful pass — right on Toffoli’s tape — and Dube capped a game of tic-tac-toe by tucking a forehand past Sharks starter James Reimer. With only 15 ticks off the clock, the out-of-towners were already ahead. “But that start was huge.”

Tyler Toffoli and Justin Turner, first introduced because their better-halves are besties, share a unique bond as professional athletes.

“And he just kind of lobs it over there like it’s nothing,” Toffoli replied. Toffoli, asked if he marvels at any particular talent when he watches his friend on the diamond, doesn’t hesitate. There was a prime example in the first period of Sunday’s showdown with the Sharks. And when it’s something that you’re kind of known to do, you have to take more pride in it because that’s what keeps you around and keeps you on good teams.” “So when you get the opportunities, you definitely want to take advantage of it. He and Nazem Kadri are now tied for the team lead with 13 tallies apiece. They’d love to replicate that lickety-split start as they continue this road-trip with Thursday’s clash against the Kings (8:30 p.m. 73 racked up three goals and five points in those back-to-back victories over the Sharks. He’s really interested and I think I’m the same way with baseball, so our relationship is funny like that. Turner’s lengthy stint with the Dodgers was highlighted by a World Series win in 2020. “I might have to join Looch (Milan Lucic) and become a Red Sox fan now,” Toffoli grinned. Article content

Markstrom continued to stonewall the Sharks on a few dangerous shots. The puck hit him hard on the inside of the knee, a part with less protection for goaltenders. Timo Meier continued to flaunt his scoring touch with a big game-tying goal with 16:02 left in the game. After nothing in the way of offensive opportunities for nearly 20 minutes of play, a quick entry, broken play on a slot opportunity for Harrington, and a sweet set of hands on Barabanov tucked in the puck behind Markstrom and into the net — an important goal to bring the Sharks within one entering the third. San Jose has just one more game before the holiday break, hosting the [Minnesota Wild](https://www.hockeywilderness.com) on Thursday night. The Sharks were really feeling it after this goal, managing a few consecutive shifts with extended offensive zone time. Upon the start of second, Reimer made a strong save of his own on a stinging shot. San Jose’s offense generated a multitude of strong scoring chances, only to be denied by the talented goaltender. On the bright side, the Sharks were welcoming back energetic defender Mario Ferraro after a 10-game absence. At the beginning of the broadcast, Drew Remenda said that “you can’t win a game at the start, but you can lose it.” This was the exact formula to lose a game from the start. Quinn on the slow start: "We just give the puck away on both goals, first two shifts, just big turnovers that end up in the back of the net. Right from the start, it looked like San Jose had already lost and vengeance was not to be.

LOS ANGELES — Trevor Lewis received an early wake-up call Wednesday, and he certainly wasn't complaining.

To go to war with those guys and come out on top, it was awesome.” “It brings back a lot of memories, seeing those pictures. Lewis spent a dozen seasons in L.A., highlighted by a pair of Stanley Cup parades while Sutter was at the helm. “I pride myself on being a two-way player and it‘s always nice to chip in,” Lewis said. (He and his wife welcomed their third child in the spring.) Back in Calgary, two of his biggest fans — his four-year-old twins — wanted to say congratulations before school.

While Kunin didn’t necessarily take the step the Sharks were likely hoping for, it’s still a blow to San Jose’s offense. However, the Sharks once again managed to pull things back to within reach near the end of the frame, as Alexander Barabanov scored off a broken play with under a minute remaining in the period, making it a one-goal game again. While the Sharks did press a bit, with only about three minutes left, Milan Lucic put a shot on goal that ramped off Reimer’s stick and in, which basically sealed the deal. We saw way too many defensive breakdowns leading to quality chances, though Reimer’s performance in the third period also left something to be desired. The Sharks actually did manage to draw even about four minutes into the third period, with Timo Meier ripping a shot past Jacob Markstrom, making it a 3-3. Then only another 15 seconds after that, Dube got one for himself off a turnover by Erik Karlsson, and it was 2-0 just 30 seconds into the game, in pretty much the worst start imaginable for the Sharks.
