SAN JOSE — It’s getting to the point where it’s more than just a hot stretch. The Sharks might just be a really good team.
By earning their seventh straight win at SAP Center Tuesday, the Sharks improved to 16-3-2 since they held a closed-door meeting with general manager Doug Wilson on Dec. 2. Think about it: that’s more than a quarter of the season in which the Sharks have produced an .810 points percentage. Impressive.
The offensive fire power is real. The Sharks are averaging 4.29 goals per game during the 21-game stretch. Most importantly, the Sharks have turned the Swiss cheese defense that plagued them over the first two months of the season into a solid block of cheddar, surrendering two goals or fewer in six consecutive games.
