CALGARY – Four more games. That’s how much rope the Sharks have left to fix what has become a disastrous two-plus weeks in which they aren’t just losing games, they’re losing them decisively.
Friday night in Calgary, a 5-2 loss, was the latest. Playing against a team that they surely knew would be hungry, as the Flames were trying to officially clinch a playoff berth while hunting them down in the standings, the Sharks again made the kind of mistakes that have plagued them throughout their run of eight regulation losses in nine games.
Take Calgary’s first goal, by Johnny Gaudreau, which came during a two-on-three rush.
