The Sharks lost to the Dallas Stars 1-0 last night and have scored only two goals over their past three games. San Jose is riding a three-game losing streak and plays again tonight against a Minnesota team looking to end a lengthy losing streak of its own. It’s not an ideal situation.
But the two losses to Anaheim and Dallas don’t spell the same doom and gloom for the Sharks that the loss to St. Louis did. Against the Blues, San Jose attempted only three scoring chances according to corsica.hockey. The Sharks attempted nine against the Ducks. Those numbers aren’t available yet for last night’s game against the Stars, but let me go out on a limb and say: more.
