EDMONTON — It’s been a while since the Sharks have lost a game like this.
Up 3-0 going into the third period, the Sharks looked well on their way to closing out the Edmonton Oilers. With minutes left and the Oilers up an extra man, the Sharks gave up two goals in 2:06, to send the game into overtime. There, a couple of Timothy Liljegren mishaps led to a crushing San Jose OT loss.
So how do the Sharks bounce back?
That’s going to be the question for the rest of this road trip, especially with two of the three remaining games against opponents behind them in the standings, the Calgary Flames and Chicago Blackhawks.
Head coach Ryan Warsofsky and star Macklin Celebrini both repeated the apparent theme of this road trip, “Be where our feet are,” on separate occasions over the last few days.
