SAN JOSE — The Sharks fell behind by three goals by the 1:10 mark of the second period and never fully recovered in a 4-1 road loss to the Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday.
In what was likely the final chance for many of their roster hopefuls to audition for jobs, the Sharks allowed goals by Andreas Martinsen and Jakob Silfverberg in the first period and another by Brendan Guhle just 70 seconds into the second period as the Ducks took a 3-0 lead.
With the teams playing 4-on-4, Jonny Brodzinski scored his first goal of the preseason off a nifty assist from Dylan Gambrell with 54 seconds left in the second period for the Sharks’ only goal.
