The Sharks come into tonight’s game against the Dallas Stars with only eight wins in 15 games, but their 19 points sits them tied for fourth in the NHL (with the Calgary Flames and Vancouver Canucks). It would seem that if the Sharks can attain this moderate level of success with so many parts of their game mired in severe inconsistency, then their ceiling once everything is clicking may know few bounds.
After closing out the home stand with two wins that showcased both inconsistent play and the Sharks’ ability to will themselves to victory, San Jose hits the road for a quick two games starting tonight in Dallas, where the Stars are 5-2 at home so far this season.
