NHL: San Jose Sharks allow three second period goals in span of 3:03 in season-ending loss to Calgary Flames
San Jose Sharks goalie Devin Cooley blocks the net on Calgary Flames forward Matthew Coronato as forward Danil Gushchin checks during the second period of an NHL hockey game Thursday, April 18, 2024, in Calgary, Alberta. That might be one of the few things the Sharks and their fans can look forward to after the franchise finished its worst season in nearly three decades.
Still, with Thursday’s loss, the Sharks, at 19-53-9, became the first team in the salary cap era , to win less than 20 games in a full 82-game season. One of the few positives this season for the Sharks is that they have a 25.5% chance of winning the NHL Draft Lottery next month and selecting Celebrini, the Hobey Baker Award winner and former Jr. Sharks forward widely considered the best player available this year.
But it’s hard to imagine the Sharks being significantly better next season, as general manager Mike Grier has stated that he doesn’t want to skip steps when it comes to rebuilding the team.The Sharks wanted to bounce back Thursday after the pounding they took Monday in a 9-2 loss to the Edmonton Oilers.
Georgi Romanov replaced Cooley after MacKenzie Weegar scored his 20th goal of the season at the 6:56 mark of the second period to give the Flames a 5-0 lead.
