The San Jose Sharks have gained some ground on the Chicago Blackhawks in the NHL standings but are still on the verge of finishing last overall and clinching a 25.5 percent chance of winning the upcoming NHL Draft Lottery.
As part of last August's Erik Karlsson trade, the Sharks hold Pittsburgh's top-10 protected first-round draft pick this year. But since then, the Penguins have gone 5-0-2, and with their 6-5 overtime win over the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday, they have moved into the second wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference.
Starting on March 24, Crosby has led the NHL with 20 points in 10 games. Thursday, Crosby assisted on Karlsson's overtime goal, giving him a goal and two assists for the game. He plays his best when the stakes are high.
