SAN JOSE — The good vibes the Sharks had after their improbable win against the Vegas Golden Knights over the weekend didn’t have a lasting effect.
The Sharks, in their final home game of the season, fell behind by three goals early in the second period and never fully recovered in a 5-2 loss to the Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday before an announced crowd of 13,378.
Brent Burns and Scott Reedy both scored and goalie Kaapo Kahkonen had 25 saves as San Jose finished the year with a record of 18-18-5 at home. The Sharks end the season with road games against Edmonton and Seattle on Thursday and Friday, respectively.
