SAN JOSE — So it’s all real simple now for the Sharks. Win Saturday against the Minnesota Wild and they’ll claim second place in the Pacific Division and earn home ice advantage in the first round of the NHL playoffs
If that happens, everyone can point to Thursday night and the way the Sharks responded after they faced some adversity to earn what was probably their biggest win of the season.
Logan Couture scored a go-ahead goal in the third period and Martin Jones had 23 saves as the Sharks topped the Colorado Avalanche 4-2 at SAP Center.
