SAN JOSE -- A missed chance at redemption.
The Sharks (22-26-4) were dominated by the Vancouver Canucks (29-18-4) in their final game before the All-Star break. On Wednesday night at SAP Center, it looked like San Jose might even the score, but a third-period collapse ruled out that possibility.
Facing the first-place team in the Pacific Division, the Sharks got off to a great start, with Tomas Hertl scoring less than five minutes into the game. Brent Burns gave the Sharks a one-goal lead in the second period, and Team Teal would take that same advantage into the second intermission.
