Sharks don’t look like a playoff-caliber team after loss to Golden Knights originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
LAS VEGAS — Last Tuesday, the Sharks looked poised to make a playoff run.
Riding high off a historic 6-5 overtime comeback victory at the Pittsburgh Penguins, they stomped the Calgary Flames out in their first game back at home, 6-3.

Since then, the Sharks have gone on a streak, but not the one that they wanted. Instead, the 17-17-3 squad has lost three in a row.
“The two games before this, I thought we deserved to win, did some really good things and bad bounces went in our net, and that’s just how it goes sometimes,” alternate captain Tyler Toffoli said. “Tonight was not the case, and we just didn’t play good enough.”
That’s a fair assessment: San Jose was good enough to win against the Dallas Stars and Seattle Kraken to close the homestand. And it was the opposite of that against the Las Vegas Golden Knights in a 7-2 loss on Tuesday night.
