Takeaways: Sharks at forefront of Stanley Cup conversation after moving into first place

VANCOUVER, British Columbia — A historic night capped off a historic road trip as the Sharks became just the sixth team in NHL history to go 4-0 on a full Western Canada road trip.

The trip is even more impressive considering that the Sharks received full marks while playing without Erik Karlsson, who missed his eighth consecutive game on Monday with a muscle injury in his lower body. The Sharks also posted the perfect record by earning road wins over the NHL’s second-best home team, the Winnipeg Jets, and the Western Conference’s most-potent offensive squad, the Calgary Flames.
