| Sharks' Struggles Opening Gate | ||||||||
|
The top eight teams in the Campbell Conference seemed to have been set for ages with just positioning left to be determined. However, the San Jose Sharks have struggled over their past 10 games, winning just 3, and now their lead isn't quite as safe. Tonight, the Sharks went into Denver and were crushed by the Rockies. This game was over fast as Joe Reekie scored two quick goals in the first 6 minutes of the game and the Rockies stormed to a 4-0 lead at the first intermission. It was 7-2 midway through the 3rd period when the Sharks scored a couple more to make the score respectable, though it was never really in doubt. Petr Svoboda also had 2 goals and finished with 3 points, with Mario Tremblay, Steve Yzerman and Mathieu Schneider also scoring. Russ Courtnall, Teppo Numminen, Rich Sutter and Steve Heinze each scored and had an assist for the Sharks. The St. Louis Blues won their game tonight and the two results means the Sharks are just 7 points up on St. Louis and give up a game in hand. With 30 games left in the season, this could actually turn out to be a race. | |||||||
