The Flames will have home-ice advantage throughout the Western Conference playoffs.It’s the first time the Flames have won their division since capturing the Northwest title in 2006.“It’s huge,” said Monahan, in his fifth season with Calgary. “I’ve been here a long time now and it’s tough enough to make it to the playoffs, so I think to do what we did is pretty special and it’s something I’ll always remember.“We’ve got a lot of work of ahead of us, and as a group we know what we’re in for.”Timo Meier and Logan Couture each had a goal and an assist and Kevin Labanc also scored for the Sharks, who lost for the eighth time in nine games after winning six straight.The Flames held San Jose to a season-low 15 shots.

They looked fatigued Sunday.“We didn’t come out the right way,” Meier said. “We didn’t play the full 60 minutes. I know it’s back-to-back Barrett Hayton Jersey Womens , but we need to be better in those situations, playing high-intensity games.”San Jose will play Vegas in the first round.“I haven’t thought about it yet,” Couture said. “We have three games left to figure things out. They’re a good team. It’s going to be a challenge. We haven’t been playing well. It seems like we’re stuck in mud the last three weeks.”Calgary trailed 1-0 on Meir’s 30th goal before Monahan tied it with his 34th at 14:45 of the first period.Janikowski scored his 34th goal just 31 seconds later, and Prout scored his first of the season at with 3:47 left in the period to put the Flames up 3-1.Sharks goalie Aaron Dell had 23 saves.Backlund scored his 21st goal in the second period, and Frolik his 16th in the third to cap the scoring for Calgary.“It’s a group now that nobody wants to be the guy, nobody wants to be the guy that lets anybody down,” Flames coach Bill Peters said. “We know how to play, we know how hard it is and the commitment that it takes, and nobody wants to be that guy that drops the ball. And they’re holding each other accountable, and on the bench it’s all positive, it’s real good.”NOTES: Couture has eight points (five goals, three assists) in his last six games. … Flames C Sam Bennett (lower-body injury) missed his fifth straight game. … Dell had given up 14 goals in his previous four games. … Sharks F’s Melker Karlsson and Lukas Radil (lower-body injuries) each missed their second straight game.UP NEXTCalgary: At Los Angeles on Monday night.San Jose: At Vancouver on Tuesday night.
