"Thanks to a five-game losing streak, the Sharks are now just as close to 29th place in the NHL standings, where they finished three years ago, as they are to the second and final wild card spot in the Western Conference."
"With the game tied 1-1 in the third period, a bad line change by the Sharks led to a goal by Flames forward Connor Zary at the 5:22 mark. Just under seven minutes later, a turnover by Sharks defenseman Timothy Liljegren led to Nazem Kadri's goal with 8:04 left in regulation time."
"The Sharks are now 1-12-2 this season when Celebrini doesn't record a point."
The San Jose Sharks faced the Calgary Flames in a crucial home game, losing 4-1 despite an energetic start and a sold-out crowd of 17,435 at SAP Center. The Sharks generated 16 shots early but faltered in the third period due to defensive lapses. A bad line change led to Connor Zary's goal at 5:22, followed by Timothy Liljegren's turnover resulting in Nazem Kadri's goal with 8:04 remaining. Macklin Celebrini, fresh from winning Olympic gold, was held scoreless despite five shots. The loss extended San Jose's winless streak to five games since their 5-2 victory over Vancouver on January 27. The Sharks now sit precariously positioned between playoff contention and the league's bottom tier.
