"After a bad line change and later a turnover in their own zone, the Sharks gave up two third-period goals and lost 4-1 to the Calgary Flames on Thursday before a sellout crowd of 17,435 eager to see their team start the stretch run on a positive note. Instead, the Sharks (27-25-4) lost their fifth straight game, their longest skid since they opened the season with a 0-4-2 record."
"Connor Zary and Nazem Kadri both scored in the third period off Sharks miscues, one off a questionable line change and another off a Timothy Liljegren turnover. Zary's goal came 5:22 into the third period on the line change, and Kadri scored with 8:04 left in regulation time after the Liljegren turnover."
"With 27 games left, the Sharks entered Thursday five points behind the Seattle Kraken for the second and final wild card spot in the Western Conference, and six points back of the Oilers for third place in the Pacific Division."
The San Jose Sharks suffered a 4-1 defeat to the Calgary Flames, marking their fifth consecutive loss and longest skid since opening the season 0-4-2. The loss came at home before a sellout crowd, with the Sharks surrendering two third-period goals resulting from defensive miscues: Connor Zary scored on a bad line change and Nazem Kadri capitalized on a Timothy Liljegren turnover. Tyler Toffoli scored the Sharks' only goal. With 27 games remaining, San Jose sits five points behind Seattle for a wild card spot and six points behind Edmonton in the Pacific Division. The team must improve against non-contending teams to end their six-year playoff drought.
