The Toronto Maple Leafs had two previous chances to clinch their first playoff spot in four years and could not close the deal, losing two games in a row.

The Sharks beat the Flames 3-1 Saturday night in both team's regular-season finale. But both playoff-bound San Jose and Calgary must wait another day to learn who each will play in next week's Stanley Cup playoffs.
