The San Jose Sharks have had issues stringing together wins all season long, and those struggles have extended to teams at or near the bottom of the NHL standings.
Saturday, the Sharks had trouble putting away the NHL’s worst team, as Gus Nyquist scored a go-ahead goal with 7:22 left in the third period to help give the Columbus Blue Jackets a 5-3 win at Nationwide Arena.
Nico Sturm was credited with his 11th goal of the season at the 1:53 mark of the third period, giving the Sharks a 3-2 lead, although it appeared Noah Gregor might have been the last San Jose player to touch the puck before it crossed the goal line.
