"We have to score, obviously, to win hockey games; we got to keep the puck out of our [net]. This time of year, puck management, line changes, and defensive execution directly impact results. The group has to regroup and move forward during the homestand."
"The message centers on playing a complete 60 minutes, cleaning up breakouts, generating more inside offense and traffic at the net, and pairing improved scoring with stronger defensive play. Building around positives, including Michael Misa's pace and detail, helps the team work to translate process improvements into results down the stretch."
The San Jose Sharks suffered a 4-1 defeat to divisional rival Calgary Flames despite outshooting them 35-29. Tyler Toffoli scored in the second period, but Calgary scored three unanswered goals in the third period to secure the victory. This loss extends San Jose's losing streak to five games while competitors like Edmonton and Anaheim gained ground with wins. The Sharks have struggled against teams below them in standings, including two losses to Calgary and one to Chicago. Head coach Ryan Warsofsky emphasized the need to improve puck management, line changes, and defensive execution. The team's focus involves playing complete 60-minute games, tightening breakouts, generating more scoring chances, and balancing offensive production with defensive responsibility.
