Chalk this one up as another frustrating loss.
The San Jose Sharks needed just one goal to get past the Flyers in a 1-0 defeat at the SAP Center. It’s the sixth straight loss to San Jose dating back to 2014.
Per usual 10 p.m. start time protocol, the Flyers came out of the gate mightily slow. Fortunately for them, Steve Mason came to play, having to stop eight shots within the first seven minutes. His teammates could only muster one of their own on net in that span. The 28-year-old netminder answered all of the numerous San Jose opportunities that came within point blank range.
