The Sharks have extended the toothless streak to six periods.
For a team that had 45 shots on goal (to the Blue Jackets’ 27), the Sharks never seemed in the game. It wasn’t as if they were being significantly outplayed, they just didn’t have the proverbial “it,” and neither did the game for that fact. There was very little fluid play to be found by either team and too few chances that moved us to the edges of our seats. It wasn’t hard hitting. It wasn’t chippy. Neither team did anything particularly well. But in lieu of a team winning, one team had to not lose.
