Bob Hartley has endured two tough seasons coaching in Calgary, but his third has the potential to be special if the Flames can continue their stunning start. Calgary seeks a fifth consecutive victory as it hosts the streaking San Jose Sharks on Saturday night. The Flames (17-8-2) are one of the NHLs most surprising clubs after finishing second to last in their division during Hartleys first two seasons. Theyve won eight of 10 after Sean Monahan scored in overtime of Thursdays 4-3 victory over Colorado, which gave Hartley his 400th career victory. Only Vancouver has more wins than Calgary among Western Conference teams. Players presented Hartley with a firemans helmet normally reserved for the games hardest worker. I told them that Im ready to trade that helmet to see them in the playoffs, said Hartley, who is trying to guide the Flames to their first postseason appearance since 2008-09. I dont know where this season, this story, is going, but its certainly fun, and its certainly very entertaining for us, the coaching staff. Matt Stajan will return to the lineup for the first time since Oct. 28 after recovering from a knee injury. Calgary didnt earn its 17th victory last season until Jan. 22, a startling turnaround for a club that has two defensemen - Mark Giordano and T.J. Brodie - among its top three point scorers. Theres also Dennis Wideman, who scored twice Thursday and leads NHL defenseman with 10 goals. Were on a pretty good hot streak here, Wideman said. We keep coming and we find ways to win hockey games. Hopefully we get a little better as the season drags on here of getting leads and holding on to them. Calgarys run began when Jiri Hudler scored twice - the second an empty netter - in a 2-0 win at San Jose on Nov. 26, the Flames third straight victory in the series. Karri Ramo has two shutouts during the streak and has won his last six starts with a 1.82 goals-against average. He made 32 saves against the Sharks, who have won three straight since falling to the Flames. San Jose (13-10-4) has scored 15 goals in that streak after totaling six while dropping its previous four. It overcame a 2-0 deficit in the first period to win 7-4 over Boston on Wednesday. (It) was a good morale boost to fall behind and then come back and really have everybody contribute, coach Todd McLellan said. It was a good thing for our team. Tyler Kennedy scored twice after missing the previous two with a lower-body injury, while Joe Pavelski and Tommy Wingles also added two goals apiece. The Sharks have scored four goals on the power play in their last three after going 3 for 22 over their previous eight. We feel good about our offense right now, Wingles said. Everyone wants to be around the net, but we softened up and were in smart areas, a little higher up or off to the side, and we were able to get some goals from it. A few adjustments here and there, but kind of the same style of getting pucks to the net and getting second chances. Antti Niemi made 20 saves, but its unclear if hell get the start in this contest with the Sharks playing at Edmonton on Sunday. He has a 1.60 GAA in his last five against the Flames after allowing one goal on 18 shots in the last meeting, when his four-starting winning streak against Calgary ended.

Canada was 2-0-2 in the round-robin portion of the tournament and had trouble finding any offensive spark. That changed in the playoff portion, as 17-year-old Boyd Devereaux scored a clutch marker late in the semi-final to beat Russia 3-2 and then opened the scoring in the final as Canada beat the United States 2-0 to claim gold. There were other offensive stars for Canada during the tournament, as Brad Isbister, Christian Dube and Cameron Mann tied for the team lead with seven points. In the end, Canada was the highest scoring team in Geneva with 27 goals, although Russia scored 26 times in only six games while claiming the bronze. Canada won on the strength of its defence, led by veterans Chris Phillips and Brad Larsen, while new-comers Jesse Wallin, Jason Doig and Richard Jackman provided size, speed and mobility. It was a multi-faceted group full of future pros. Canada was also set in goal, where Marc Denis played all but one minute and was never less than sensational. He was particularly brilliant in the final game, stopping 35 American shots to get the shutout, the win, and the gold medal. He was a no-brainer pick for top goalie and ended his WJHC career with a 7-0-2 record and a sparking 1.67 goals against average. Somehow, Denis was left off the all-star team, but Phillips and Dube were there to represent Canada. In stretching its gold medal run to five straight tournaments, Canada also extended its incredible record to an unthinkable 24-0-3 in its last 27 world junior championship games. The streak had put the team under intense pressure over the week, but they came through with flying colours to claim Canadas tenth gold medal.
