Thursday's Game of the Night - Calgary at San Jose

Calgary talked about wanting to be the first team to defeat San Jose inside 60 minutes in San Jose this season. Well, they walked the talk winning 3-2 at the Shark Tank Thursday.

Dion Phaneuf got the game-winner to complete the comeback victory.

Joe Thornton scored to make it three goals in his last two games. How about this for a stat. Thornton was credited with four shots on goal against Calgary, the same number as in the game prior against Tampa Bay. The combined total of eight matches the total number of shots Thornton compiled in his previous NINE games. Big Joe scored just once in that nine-game stretch. In fact, the two-goal Lightning performance came on the heels of a sequence that saw Thornton find the twine only once in fifteen outings. Can you imagine how good San Jose would be in California Joe actually shot the puck once in awhile?

On to the highlights.



Miikka Kiprusoff was very good but he gets a little bit of help, as well as some luck, in a sequence that begins at 2:05 in the highlights.
