It was the San Jose Sharks’ most challenging road trip of the year: Washington, Florida, Carolina, and then, Tampa Bay last night to finish off the stretch. The team earned four points out of a possible eight going into the upcoming 12-day break — which isn’t a great record, but also not as bad as it could have been, all things considered.
It could have ended on a less-sour note, as the Sharks were bested by the Tampa Bay Lightning in overtime with a final score of 3-2, this following three games where they beat the Washington Capitals, earned a point in overtime against the Florida Panthers, and narrowly lost in regulation to the Carolina Hurricanes.
