Maybe last year, and certainly the season before, a 3-2 comeback shootout loss, complete with a first NHL goal from a top prospect, would be okay for the Sharks.
But head coach Ryan Warsofsky is trying to set a higher standard, and just maybe, the Sharks are getting there soon.
San Jose is 4-4-1 in its last nine and has been competitive in every single game in this stretch.
Sam Dickinson scored his first NHL goal off a brilliant Will Smith pass, and the Sharks tied it late, before falling in the shootout to the Detroit Red Wings.
But postgame, the discussion with Warsofsky wasn’t about a moral victory, it was about real wins.
