Too many things have to go right for the San Jose Sharks to win.
So on a night when James Reimer surrendered two soft goals, the top-ranked penalty kill gets touched up, Erik Karlsson doesn’t manage a point, who else is stepping up to bring the Sharks to the promised land?
No one else, apparently, as San Jose lost 5-2 to the Los Angeles Kings on Friday night.
That’s been the case for most of the season for the 7-13-3 Sharks.
They are 1-9-2 when they give up four or more goals.
They are 1-4-1 when their PK gives up a goal.
They are 1-7-0 when Karlsson doesn’t score a point.
“We’re finding ways again to lose hockey games,” captain Logan Couture said, “whereas when we were winning, we were finding a different way to win each night.”
