CALGARY -- The San Jose Sharks got two points they deserved Tuesday night while the Calgary Flames got one point they probably didnt. In an odd game that was way closer than it should have been, San Jose won 3-2 on Brad Stuarts goal 1:13 into overtime. Stuart jumped up in the rush, drove the net and had Joe Thorntons shot deflect sharply off his elbow and past Reto Berra for the winner. "Its been a long time since Ive had an overtime goal," said Stuart. "It wasnt pretty but Im not going to tell anybody how it went in, it just went in." San Jose dominated play throughout the game, outshooting Calgary 35-13, yet werent able to put the game away. "Weve had a lot of close games and just havent been able to finish it," said Stuart. "Tonight, we let them back in it and we shouldnt have but for us to get the points, itll be a good positive for us moving forward." From the start of the game, Calgarys trademark work ethic was absent and that was a source of frustration for the coaching staff. "That was the biggest spanking that weve taken in the first period," said Flames coach Bob Hartley. "We didnt touch the puck. The only way that we could have touched the puck is if we would have had two pucks out there." San Jose got a goal from Logan Couture on its second shift of the game and then a power-play goal from Patrick Marleau in the final minute, taking a 2-0 lead in a period in which they outshot the home side 17-3. "In the first period, we didnt see our team at all," Hartley said. "I asked (assistant coach) Marty Gelinas, should I change my lines and he said yes. I started looking and I couldnt find three guys that I felt that had decent energy." Down 28-6 on the shot clock after 40 minutes yet only down 2-0 thanks to Berra, Calgary finally got enough going in the third to rally back and tie it. Calgarys comeback bid began when it got its first power play of the night six minutes into the period. The Flames would need just five seconds to convert. Rookie Sean Monahan cleanly won a faceoff from Thornton, pulling the puck back to Kris Russell and the Flames defenceman ripped a slapshot past Sharks goaltender Alex Stalock. The goal snapped a 0-for-30 drought on the power play for Calgary that had lasted nine games and covered more than 54 minutes. Less than four minutes later, Mike Cammalleri tied it on a backhand at 10:25, setting off a deafening roar from the sell-out Scotiabank Saddledome crowd, announced at 19,289, who until the third period had very little to cheer about. But that momentary surge would be the long bright spot on the evening for the Flames, who were kicking off a three-game homestand. "Were all proud people and thats been something from day one, weve been a team that played with pride and we dont want to be beat, playing in games where our shot totals look like that," said Cammalleri. "I dont see any moral victories in that." After missing the first seven games with a hand injury, the pending unrestricted free agent leads the Flames with eight goals in 11 games. "In the third, we were desperate and I felt that we saw our good old team again but all that said. If not for Reto Berra, the Sharks can get on the plane after the first period and theyd already have the two points," said Hartley. San Jose (11-2-5) snaps a five-game winless skid, although in a similar way to Tuesdays result, it was misleading. During the span, they had three shootout losses and one loss in overtime. "Weve been playing good hockey, we just havent been winning shootouts. To get the full two (points), its finally nice," said Thornton. "We had two hiccups but we played good tonight. Thats how we need to play every night." Calgary (6-9-3), kicking off a three-game homestand, is winless in its last four. Berras record falls to 1-2-1 while Stalock continues his unusual distinction of having won more games than he has started in his brief NHL time. He won his NHL debut in relief on Feb. 1, 2011. Replacing Antti Niemi halfway through the second period with the Sharks down 3-0 to Phoenix, he made nine saves as San Jose rallied back to beat the Coyotes 5-3. In his first NHL start just over two weeks ago, it was a much busier evening as he was peppered for 40 shots in San Joses 5-2 win over the Ottawa Senators. "The other guy played pretty good. He saw a lot of rubber and played a heck of a game for them," said Stalock, the 26-year-old from St. Paul, Minnesota. "On my end, it was pretty quiet for two periods. It was a little tougher. Youve got a lot more time to think about the next puck than just reacting." Notes: Ladislav Smid made his Flames debut, playing 16:50...

It was revealed by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) last week that 31 athletes from 12 countries, competing in six different sports, could be banned from this years Olympics in Rio after 454 doping samples from Beijing were re-tested.The tests were focused on the doping samples of those athletes who are expected to go to Rio this summer.And the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) has been notified by the IOC that 14 of the 31 athletes are Russian. Russia to criminalise doping Russia aim to make doping a criminal offence by 2017 The ROC has not identified the 14 athletes but they have been named by Russian media and they include several medallists from Beijing. There are allegedly 11 track and field athletes, two weightlifters and one rower on the list.The athletes involved still have the chance to have their B samples tested, but if the positive tests are confirmed, and their results annulled, it could see Britains bronze medal tally from Beijing rise from 15 to 17. Abakumova finished just ahead of Sayers in 2008 Maria Abakumova is allegedly one of the athletes involved after winning the silver medal in the womens javelin in China, an event in which Britains Goldie Sayers finished fourth and could now be promoted to third place.The British quartet of Andrew Steele, Robert Tobin, Michael Bingham and Martyn Rooney came fourth in the mens 4x400m relay and they could also be handed a bronze medal if allegations that Denis Alekseyev, who was a member of the bronzze-medal winning Russian team, is involved prove to be correct and he is disqualified.dddddddddddd Andrew Steele and 4x400m team-mates Robert Tobin, Michael Bingham and Martyn Rooney are in line for a Beijing bronze Tatiana Firova, who won a silver medal as part of Russias 4x400m relay squad, is another athlete allegedly under suspicion and Britains Christine Ohuruogu, Kelly Sotherton, Marilyn Okoro and Nicola Sanders could be upgraded to fourth from fifth place as a consequence.Sotherton, who won bronze in the heptathlon at the 2004 Athens Olympics, says if the medals are to be awarded to Britain it will be frustrating news for Britains performance director at the time, Dave Collins. This has touched not just athletes, but people within in the sport, she said.Our performance director in Beijing, Dave Collins, basically got sacked because he didnt reach his medal target, he only got four out of the predicted five. Kelly Sotherton has sympathised with Dave Collins after he was axed after Beijing If the other two do get medals, it would mean he should have got six and his target was five. Would he have been sacked then?Russia was suspended by the IAAF, athletics world governing body, in November after being accused of state-sponsored doping in a report commissioned by WADA.A decision on whether they will be reinstated for the Rio Olympics will be announced on June 17.
