NHL: San Jose Sharks allow three straight goals to the Calgary Flames in a 5-3 loss at the Saddledome.
From the San Jose Sharks’ perspective, there was nowhere to go but up after they were throttled by the Vancouver Canucks earlier this week.The Sharks had a one-goal lead in the second period Saturday but allowed three straight to the Calgary Flames in what became a 5-3 loss at the Saddledome, marking San Jose’s ninth straight defeat as it ended a three-game road trip.
“What we talked about is you can’t quit,” Sharks coach David Quinn said after Saturday’s game. “That’s probably the biggest insult you can any athlete. We’ve got to continue to play to the style we want to play.”Notes from Saturday’s game:Karlsson assisted on Couture’s goal at the 14:25 mark of the first period, setting him up with a nifty pass toward the Flames’ crease, then had the secondary assist on Sturm’s goal at the 4:52 mark of the second that tied the game 2-2.
“It’s going to be a tough ask. It has been for a while,” said Karlsson, who has 12 points in 11 games since the trade deadline. “Guys come to the rink every day and show up for each other and we find enjoyment in the smaller things these days. Hopefully, we can empty the tanks and everybody can end on a better foot than the previous 72 games.”
“Can you imagine if our power play was going at an average rate, what would have?” Quinn said. “Our power play has been abysmal for two months and probably, if it could ever get going here in the last nine games, he might get by Wednesday.”One day after his season with Harvard ended, defenseman Henry Thrun signed a two-year entry-level contract with the Sharks and is immediately joining the team. Thrun could potentially be in the Sharks’ lineup as soon as Tuesday.
