The <b>Sharks<\/b> enter Saturday just <b>one point<\/b> behind the <b>Anaheim Ducks<\/b> for the second wild-card spot but trail the <b>Utah Mammoth<\/b> by two critical points. <b>Head coach<\/b> knows every victory matters in this compressed schedule.<\/p>\n<p>The <b>Sharks<\/b> showed resilience recently despite suffering a <b>loss in Edmonton<\/b> on Thursday. <b>San Jose<\/b> boasts a solid <b>13-12-1 record<\/b> on the road this season, giving them confidence in hostile territory. <b>Macklin Celebrini<\/b>, the team&#8217;s emerging star, has netted <b>24 goals<\/b> to lead the forward group and provide scoring punch when it matters most.<\/p>\n<h2>Calgary Limp Into Afternoon Matchup With Playoff Dream Dead<\/h2>\n<p>The <b>Calgary Flames<\/b> have officially surrendered their playoff aspirations.
