The Sharks got their first look at their probable playoff matchup on Thursday night. It didn’t turn out the way they wanted, as Edmonton came back for a 4-2 win on Thursday night in San Jose.
Just as the Sharks’ first power play was ending, Joel Ward scored for the second straight game. Ward set up a screen in front of Cam Talbot and tipped in the David Schlemko for his 10th goal of the season. The Sharks held off some Edmonton momentum by killing off a key power play in the final two minutes.
Edmonton got a fluke goal in the second period to tie the game up.
