Lethargic Sharks follow familar pattern in loss to Philadelphia Flyers
"The San Jose Sharks allowed two goals in the second period, including a backbreaker with just 12 seconds left before intermission, in a sluggish 4-1 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday at Xfinity Mobile Arena. The Sharks allowed even-strength goals in the second period to forwards Carl Grundstrom and Noah Cates, with Cates' goal right before intermission giving the Flyers a 3-1 lead."
"Nedeljkovic got the start on Tuesday as Yaroslav Askarov came down with an illness and had to be scratched from the lineup. With Askarov unavailable, the Sharks signed former Colgate University goalie Justin Kowalkoski to an amateur tryout contract to back up Nedeljkovic. Kowalkoski, 39, played at Colgate from 2004 to 2008 before a brief professional career. Nedeljkovic finished with 28 saves, including 15 in the third period, to lead the Sharks to an impressive 4-1 win over the Carolina Hurricanes in Raleigh on Sunday."
The Sharks fell 4-1 to the Flyers after allowing two even-strength goals in the second period, including Noah Cates' goal with 12 seconds remaining before intermission that made it 3-1. Travis Konecny added an empty-netter late in the third period. Collin Graf opened the scoring at 11:33 of the first period on the Sharks' first shot of the game. The Sharks were outshot 29-18 and have been outshot in 27 of 31 games this season. The loss was the fourth in six games and put the team 1-2-0 on the road trip.
