LAS VEGAS — A stirring Sharks comeback in the third period Friday created a few tense moments for the frenzied, sold-out crowd inside T-Mobile Arena.
But the first half of Game 5, when the Sharks reverted back to some bad habits against the Vegas Golden Knights,was too much to overcome.
Now they’ve got less than 48 hours to get everything corrected if they want to keep their season alive.
Goalie Martin Jones made 27 saves through two-plus periods but Alex Tuch scored twice and James Neal and Erik Haula each added one as the Golden Knights earned a 5-3 win to take a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven series, pushing the Sharks to the brink of elimination.
