SAN JOSE — The Sharks’ six-game winning streak ended with a thud Tuesday night at SAP Center.
Slowing down Connor McDavid and the first place Edmonton Oilers for the second tine in eight days was a bit too much to ask.
The Sharks fell behind by two goals after the first 7:59 of the first period and never fully recovered in a 5-2 loss, San Jose’s first defeat since Nov. 2.
Kevin Labanc scored in the first period for the Sharks, but McDavid assisted on goals by Zack Kassian and James Neal as the Oilers led 4-1 after 40 minutes.
