San Jose began their performance in the preseason with away matches. In the first of them, the team suffered a crushing defeat from Anaheim (3:6). On the worst side, both goalkeepers Melnichuk and Savchenko showed themselves. In the second match, Sharks were still able to rehabilitate themselves, defeating a more serious opponent in the face of Vegas (4:2). Further, Sharks returned to the home arena, where they again lost to Los Angeles (3:4). The team was close to leveling the score and turning the game around, but only one goal was missing, but San Jose was able to take revenge from Anaheim (3:1).
Calgary started the preseason badly and were defeated in three matches in a row. But in the last two meetings, they seemed to have found their game. Lights proved their superiority over Vancouver (4:1) and on the road they confidently dealt with Seattle with a score of 4:1, thus, taking revenge from their offenders. Definitely, Darryl Sutter’s squad will have problems with performance this season, as the team’s line of attack is not very strong. In the same duel with the Kraken, the Flames scored only 13 shots in the entire game. That is why Calgary can only rely on defensive action.
