SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Teen-ager Matthew Tkachuk stayed up late thinking he would be scratched. When he did hear he would play, he got ready in a hurry.Tkachuk recorded his first two-goal game, including the game-winner with 4:21 to play, and the Calgary Flames handed the San Jose Sharks their first home loss of the season, 3-2 on Thursday night.Troy Brouwer and Tkachuk scored in a 93-second span late in the second period as the Flames ended a two-game slide.I woke up this morning not really expecting I was playing, Tkachuk said. I got the news I was playing and got fired up pretty quickly. I was running on adrenaline tonight, thats for sure.Brent Burns and Melker Karlsson scored for the Sharks, who were the last team in the league to lose at home.We didnt play our best game, far from it, but when you give up one at the end like that, it hurts, Burns said. We had three power plays in the first 10 minutes. You want to score one of those for sure.Chad Johnson stopped 26 of 28 shots in his fourth appearance for the Flames. Martin Jones recorded 19 saves for the Sharks.From my standpoint, I wouldnt say it was an easy game but it was a lot better than my last one, Johnson said. We took away the middle and there werent many breakaways or 2-on-1s or 3-on-2s.The Flames caught a break when Jones kept his eyes on Michael Ferland, who carried the puck behind the net. A quick pass to Brouwer caught the goalie off guard and it was an easy score.Tkachuk made it 2-0 soon after, taking a pass from Deryk Engelland and firing it past Jones.Im glad he got himself a couple for his confidence, Flames coach Glen Gulutzan said.

Former South Africa wicketkeeper Mark Boucher has joined the national teams support staff in preparation for the upcoming Test series against New Zealand. Boucher, whose 147-Test career ended in 2012 with an eye injury, will work with the squad for three days before the first Test in Durban, which starts on Friday, and should also spend time with them ahead of the second Test in Centurion later this month. While his focus will be on Quinton de Kocks wicketkeeping, Boucher will also work on the lower orders batting skills and the overall mental aspect of the game.Mark is a guy that is highly respected. It will be particularly good for young Quinton de Kock to spend some time with him and work on his keeping and do a few fielding drills, coach Russell Domingo said.In the absence of AB de Villiers, who will sit out of the series with an elbow injury, de Kock is guaranteed to don the gloves in both matches. He will also have the responsibility of marshalling the tail, much like Boucher did, a particular area of focus for Domingo.Last season, he roped in then Dolphins coach Lance Klusener to work with the lower order ahead of the England series. It paid some dividends when, in the lone match South Africa won in Centurion, de Kock shared three half-century stands for the sixth, eighth and ninth wickets with Temba Bavuma, Kyle Abbott and Dane Piedt respectively.Vernon Philanders imminent return to the XI will provide another possible partner for de Kock, and Boucher is set to work with all of them on prolonging innings as much as possible. Mark enjoys working with lower order because he likes to toughen guys up, Domingo said.Primarily, its the bulldog in Boucher that Domingo wants to make use of. His main job will be to attempt to impart some of the never-say-die approach that defined his style of play into a South African side stung by a season of disappointment. After losing back-to-back Test series, they slipped from No. 1 to 6, and also crashed out of the World T20 in the first round.dddddddddddd. Although Domingo said he will no longer use the term team in transition because of the experience in the side, he conceded that his relatively new bunch needed some mental muscle.Mark has got the reputation of having that fighting spirit and epitomising what the Proteas have always stood for in terms of being tough, Domingo said. Its by no means the same team that got that No. 1 ranking. This is a new team and this team needs to try and set their own legacy and their own benchmark. Its a great opportunity for these guys to do something special, something that not many people are expecting them to do.South Africa can climb to No. 5 with a 2-0 win over New Zealand, which Domingo hopes could be the start of their rise back up the rankings. It may also be the only way Domingo manages to keep his job, which remains at risk despite CSA abandoning an independent review into national team performances. Domingos contract runs until April next year, but with important away trips to Australia and New Zealand before then, and a Champions Trophy, followed by an England tour soon after his deal expires, this New Zealand series could be a litmus test for him, and he seems set on getting as much help as he needs to keep it.I always have tried to [bring in former players], Domingo said. To not tap into some of our past players would be foolish of us, particularly a guy that wants to offer something.Boucher is the sixth former international to work as a consultant in the Domingo era, following Gary Kirsten, Mike Hussey, Graeme Smith, Klusener and Neil McKenzie, who remains in charge as batting coach. Domingo also had two former internationals as bowling coaches, Allan Donald and incumbent Charl Langeveldt, as well as Claude Henderson as their spin-bowling coach. ' ' '
