Ouch! Sharks fail to pick up the win and remain in 7th, now 3 points back or the Wings. Not looking good for a chance to move any higher with only 12 games left.
Why did we lose this game? Apparently it must have had something to do with the loss of Malik to injury midway through the first. After going up 2-0 less than a minute after losing him, we never scored again and gave up 3 goals over the next two periods. Worst part is, no Wing was ejected for his injury as it was apparently self inflicted or the ref didn't see the blatant intent to injure!
Good new is, with Cheechoo coming back, we will have that much more help to make up for the loss of Malik. Look for the top line to come out firing on all cylinders next game against the Devils!
