SAN JOSE — In two games this season, the Flames and San Jose Sharks have combined for three goals.

San Jose won the first meeting in a 2-1 shootout, and the Flames fell 1-0 in round 2 at the Saddledome a couple of weeks ago. It makes you wonder how low the over/under line could be in Las Vegas.

“That’s a good question,” said Sharks head coach Todd McLellan after his team’s morning skate. “I just looked at the number of goals Calgary’s given up the last seven games (12) and they’ve been very stingy. It’s the same thing for us, for the most part.

“Sometimes both coaches head into a game and anticipate a low-scoring tight one, like the first two games have been, and something else breaks out.”

In those seven games, the Flames have managed only 14 goals — six in one outing against the Edmonton Oilers — and have posted a 3-2-2 record.

So, the defence has been there but the offence hasn’t followed suit. The Flames simply have to score more goals to be a playoff squad, but head coach Brent Sutter isn’t panicking about that aspect.

“When you get to the final third of the season, everybody’s got to be committed to doing it the right way,” he said. “You want to have the puck to win games, and need to get it from the opposition, and the only way to do that is a good team game.

“There’s so much talk, ‘You’re not scoring,’ but you’re not hearing people saying we’re not getting a lot of scoring chances. We’ve had quality scoring chances. The chances are there, and we’ve just got to bear down on those opportunities.”

The Flames lineup will be the same, but Sutter made a bit of switch on the right wing with his second and third lines, flipping Blake Comeau and Krys Kolanos.

Here’s how they went in the morning skate:

Alex Tanguay – Olli Jokinen – Jarome Iginla

Michael Cammalleri – Blair Jones – Blake Comeau

Lance Bouma – Mikael Backlund – Krys Kolanos

Tom Kostopoulos – Matt Stajan – Tim Jackman

Miikka Kiprusoff is due to start in net and going for his 300th career win against his old team.
