SAN JOSE — Over the last few days, Sharks coach Pete DeBoer has used an rather unflattering word on multiple occasions when he’s described his team’s play.
“I think lately it’s been more just soft coverage,” DeBoer said before the Sharks played the Boston Bruins on Tuesday. “Just soft around our net, letting guys get inside.”
“We’ve been a soft team for 10, 12 games,” DeBoer said Friday morning before the Sharks hosted the Winnipeg Jets. “That doesn’t win you many games in this league.”
The Sharks’ 3-2 loss to the Jets on Friday at SAP Center was their fourth straight this week and their 10th in 14 games this season.
