"The confetti was still flying when the shootout began.

But there was enough left for a second celebration at HP Pavilion, even after the San Jose Sharks' season-ticket holders witnessed a disallowed goal by the home team in overtime.

Instead, the Sharks settled for a shootout victory to spoil the Calgary Flames' night Tuesday.

The Flames deserved better for playing one of their best road games of the NHL season in the 2-1 shootout loss.

They caught one break when Justin Braun's apparent OT winner was waved off by a referee for what he thought was goaltender interference."
