What does this say about the Sharks?
“We played how we wanted to play,” coach Ryan Warsofsky said after San Jose’s 2-1 overtime loss to the Winnipeg Jets on Monday at Canada Life Centre.
Per Natural Stat Trick, the Sharks were strafed 15-6 in High-Danger Chances and 63-31 in Shot Attempts at 5-on-5, and 35-17 shots overall.
Except…Warsofsky was right.
“You know that they’re coming for us. We really can’t force anything,” William Eklund said, after a third period where the Sharks blew another lead. “So I think we played pretty simple, and that’s what you gotta do some games.”
The Sharks were outshot 13-3 in the third period.

Except…Eklund was right too.
But this is the reality when the worst team in the NHL, the 15-36-8 Sharks, take on the best team in the league, the 41-14-3 Jets.
