Stanley Cup Playoff Push: RoryBoylen breaks down the biggest game of Montreal's season tonight in Columbus, and looks into the SJSharks' recent struggles.
Winnipeg vs. DallasTeam in focus: San Jose Sharks
It’s time to start worrying about these Sharks. They’ve dropped six games in a row and haven’t allowed less than three goals in a game since shutting out the Minnesota Wild on March 11. The offence has slowed down, with 14 goals over those six games — a stretch when defensive defenceman Marc-Edouard Vlasic has been their highest scorer with five points . Joe Thornton, Kevin Labanc and Brent Burns are next at four points, and that leaves you wondering where the stars have gone.
That goaltending has been San Jose’s Achilles’ heel all season and it’s catching up to them. The combination of Martin Jones and Aaron Dell has the league’s second-worst all situations save percentage at .890, just ahead of Florida and right behind New Jersey and Edmonton. The next-lowest save percentage by a team currently in a playoff spot are the Calgary Flames at .903.
