Canucks’ Dramatic Shootout Victory Crushes Sharks’ Playoff Dreams—What’s Next for Both Teams?
SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — Linus Karlsson scored in the sixth round of the shootout and the Vancouver Canucks put the San Jose Sharks on the brink of playoff elimination with a 4-3 win on Saturday night.
After each team scored only once in the first five rounds, Karlsson ended the game when he beat Yaroslav Askarov to snap Vancouver’s four-game losing streak and spoil the final home game of a promising season for San Jose.
After finishing last in the league the past two seasons, the Sharks have jumped 30 points in the standings. But they trail Los Angeles by five points with three games remaining in the race for the final wild-card spot in the Western Conference.
