San Jose Sharks have had issues stringing together wins all season long, and those struggles have extended to teams at or near the bottom of the NHL standings
Saturday, the Sharks had trouble putting away the NHL’s worst team, as Gus Nyquist scored a go-ahead goal with 7:22 left in the third period to help give the Columbus Blue Jackets a 5-3 win at Nationwide Arena.
Then after a Columbus takeaway, Nyquist ripped a shot past Kahkonen for his 10th of the season, helping the Blue Jackets snap a three-game losing streak. Blue Jackets forward Sean Kuraly added an empty-net goal with 1:04 to play. The Sharks entered Saturday’s game in 28th place in the NHL with 37 points, ahead of Arizona, Anaheim, Chicago and Columbus, and just two points behind Vancouver. Against those five teams this season, though, the Sharks are now 4-3-5, picking up 13 of a possible 24 points.
