SAN JOSE — The Sharks will have to wait a couple more days to punch their ticket to the postseason.
Feeling the effects of three games in four nights, the Sharks didn’t have much left in reserve after the first period and lost 4-2 to the Florida Panthers at SAP Center. It was just the sixth regulation time loss at home for the Sharks this season, and their first since a 5-1 defeat to Washington on Feb. 14.
The loss kept the Sharks at 94 points, one point ahead of the Calgary Flames for first place in the Pacific Division.
