CALGARY, Alberta (Ticker) -- There were times over the past fewyears when Owen Nolan could have walked away from the game. Youcouldn't blame him if on Monday he wondered why he didn't.

Playing in his 1,000th NHL game, Nolan watched his former team,the San Jose Sharks, dominate his current team, the CalgaryFlames, with a 4-1 rout at Pengrowth Saddledome.


Before the game the Flames honored Nolan for his achievement.Signed as a free agent this past summer, Nolan is the 220th NHLplayer and the third player to play his 1,000th game as a CalgaryFlame, joining Craig Berube and Martin Gelinas.


But, while Nolan had his moment before the puck dropped, theSharks had theirs when it counted.


The Sharks took advantage of a late Calgary penalty in the firstperiod to take the early lead. Ryane Clowe banged home arebound off a Jeremy Roenick shot with 96 seconds remaining inthe opening period.


Flames forward Eric Godard appeared to open the scoring withjust under four minutes remaining in the first period. The goalwas disallowed after replays showed Godard redirected the puckwith this left arm.


Milan Michalek gave the Sharks a 2-0 lead with a shorthandedmarker in the second period. Michalek grabbed his own reboundafter a backhand shot that Calgary goaltender Miika Kiprusoffstopped.


The Sharks chased Kiprusoff from the net with a power-play goallate in the second period. Steve Bernier deflected Craig Rivet'spoint shot to give the Sharks a 3-0 lead with just under fourminutes left in the second session.


Michalek scored his second goal of the game 5 1/2 minutes intothe third period.


Calgary avoided becoming Evgeni Nabokov's second consecutiveshutout victim when Daymond Langkow scored his eighth goal ofthe season with 2:33 to play.

CALGARY, Alberta (Ticker) -- There were times over the past fewyears when Owen Nolan could have walked away from the game. Youcouldn't blame him if on Monday he wondered why he didn't.

Playing in his 1,000th NHL game, Nolan watched his former team,the San Jose Sharks, dominate his current team, the CalgaryFlames, with a 4-1 rout at Pengrowth Saddledome.


Before the game the Flames honored Nolan for his achievement.Signed as a free agent this past summer, Nolan is the 220th NHLplayer and the third player to play his 1,000th game as aCalgary Flame, joining Craig Berube and Martin Gelinas.

But, while Nolan had his moment before the puck dropped, theSharks had theirs when it counted.


The Sharks took advantage of a late Calgary penalty in the firstperiod to take the early lead. Ryane Clowe banged home arebound off a Jeremy Roenick shot with 96 seconds remaining inthe opening period.


Roenick finished the night with two assists
and remains two goals shy of 500 for his career.


"It's coming, especially playing with that line," said Roenick."We got a lot of chances to score again tonight."


Flames forward Eric Godard appeared to open the scoring withjust under four minutes remaining in the first period. The goalwas disallowed after replays showed Godard redirected the puckwith this left arm.


Milan Michalek gave the Sharks a 2-0 lead with a shorthandedmarker in the second period. Michalek grabbed his own reboundafter a backhand shot that Calgary goaltender Miika Kiprusoffstopped.


The Sharks chased Kiprusoff from the net with a power-play goallate in the second period. Steve Bernier deflected Craig Rivet'spoint shot to give the Sharks a 3-0 lead with just under fourminutes left in the second session.


Flames coach Mike Keenan wasn't blaming his goaltender.

"Pulling Mikka had nothing to do with Mikka's play whatsoever,"Keenan said. "It was solely intended to try and jump startthem.


"I was trying to get the team some kind of jump start, some kindof energy to get them to refocus on what their task wastonight. They didn't respond to it at all."


Michalek scored his second goal of the game 5 1/2 minutes intothe third period.


"The first one was just good luck, the rebound came to mystick," Michalek said. "The second one, J.R. (Roenick) made apretty good pass to me."


Calgary avoided becoming Evgeni Nabokov's second consecutiveshutout victim when Daymond Langkow scored his eighth goal ofthe season with 2:33 to play.


Flames captain Jarome Iginla thought the late goal was toolittle, too late.


"We all know it's not good enough," Iginla said. "We'll let thisone stink for a bit and then get ready for the next game."
