When you talk about losing streaks, the magic number is four and the Sharks have hit that magic number in spectacular fashion. The latest debacle, a 6-2 loss to the Ottawa Senators, in a game that was very much in the Sharks’ reach at least for points in the game.
The short summary is that on paper, the game looked close.
San Jose out-shot the Senators, 38-27. The Sharks won 59 percent of the faceoffs and went one for three on the power play.
If you look at the 5-on-5 Corsi courtesy of Natural Stat Trick, San Jose had the better possession.
