Takeaways: Sharks need to consider giving Erik Karlsson an extended rest

BOSTON — Gus Nyquist’s Sharks debut got overshadowed by the continuing drama related to Erik Karlsson’s groin injury. It got spoiled by the team’s lackluster performance against the Boston Bruins

Karlsson left Tuesday’s game in Boston after he appeared to re-tweak a groin injury that sidelined him for 10 games over the last two months (more coming). In addition, Evander Kane insists that he took a cheap shot from Zdeno Chara and the Sharks lost their fourth straight game against a potential Stanley Cup contender, a string that includes two losses to the Bruins and defeats at the hands of the Washington Capitals and the Columbus Blue Jackets.
