Dion Phaneuf scored on a deflected shot with 3:57 to play, and the Calgary Flames handed the San Jose Sharks their first regulation home loss in 11 months, 3-2 Thursday night.
Daymond Langkow scored an early goal, and the veteran forward also kept the puck in San Jose's end to set up the winning score. Langkow eventually got the puck to Phaneuf, and his shot glanced off Marc-Edouard Vlasic's stick for the star defenseman's first goal in 26 games since Nov. 11.

Craig Conroy also scored, and Miikka Kiprusoff made 33 saves for the Flames, who won the meeting of division leaders with a superior third period and a bit of luck on Phaneuf's winner. Calgary has won 11 of 13 overall.
Evgeni Nabokov stopped 28 shots for San Jose, which was 20-0-2 at the Shark Tank this season. The loss also dropped the Sharks a point behind Boston in the overall NHL standings.
