San Jose's season finale comes from Calgary tonight when the Sharks face the Flames
By Conor Power
It's the final game for the San Jose Sharks tonight in the 2023-24 campaign. A season that has tested their resilience will finally conclude tonight, paving the way for the brighter days of summer. Despite the challenges, the Sharks have shown their strength and we're moving into a brighter tomorrow with the end of the pain today. It'll be the San Jose Sharks and the Calgary Flames for one last time.
Neither team is playing for anything meaningful, but the Sharks will be looking to rebound after that humiliating defeat last time out at the hands of the Edmonton Oilers. Calgary will be saying farewell to its fans tonight in its final game of the season before the playoffs start this weekend. Both teams will be watching from home after neither organization saw the success they would have liked. However, this sets the stage for an exciting offseason as both teams retool for the new year.
As for the lineups, it's the final game of the season. There are far more critical things to worry about. Just get through tonight with no injuries, and enjoy the ride before we have to go six months without the Sharks to entertain us again. We'll continue to try and talk about the Sharks here on Blades of Teal, but we won't have anything on the ice.

Puck Drop
The puck drops from Calgary at 6 p.m. tonight for the season finale. Many players will take to the ice for the final time in their Sharks tenure, and some may take to the ice for the final time in their NHL careers before departing for Europe or just hanging up the skates entirely. We will see if the Sharks can give us a win to ride into the sunset or if it's another loss to cap off this awful year.
