How badly are the Sharks struggling to score in their first-round playoff series against Edmonton? Look at the team’s list of leading scorers.
Marc-Edouard Vlasic sits atop the list, with two points, each on an assist.
Taking nothing away from San Jose’s best and vastly underrated defenseman, Vlasic is just not who needs to be scoring. Goals need to come from the team’s best offensive threats soon or the young Oilers are going to make quick work of the defending Western Conference champion Sharks.
It probably has to start Tuesday when San Jose hosts Edmonton in Game 4, searching for a win to even the best-of-seven series.
