The Oilers tied up the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs as the Sharks were shut out 2-0 in a Game 2 loss.
EDMONTON – In Game 1 on Wednesday of their series with Edmonton, the Sharks seemed to quickly put behind them some of the bad habits that had crept into their game over the final few weeks of the season in seizing the opener.
On Friday in Game 2, though, their most inexplicable source of frustration throughout the year reared its ugly head in a disheartening loss.
The Sharks went 0-for-6 on the power play – after finishing 25th in the league in the regular season – and allowed a pair of shorthanded goals to Zack Kassian and Connor McDavid in a 2-0 loss, as the Oilers equaled the best-of-seven at one game apiece.
