Sharks 2, Blues 3 (OT): Sharks win streak snapped in overtime loss to Blues

On the second night of back-to-backs, eleventh game in twenty nights (!), on the shoulders of an eight-game win streak, escaping with a win (thank Jones) against a non-playoff team the night before, having established a 99.91% chance of clinching a playoff spot, and playing against an opponent playing for its playoff life on an almost as impressive five-game win streak on the road, the Sharks had every excuse in the world to pack it in tonight. This was the type of game that had “loss” written all over it before it ever began. While a loss was ultimately the result, there was no pack-in from this team.
