The San Jose Sharks wanted to finish off what’s been a challenging season on a positive note Friday night, as they played the Seattle Kraken in their 82nd and final game.
Instead, the Sharks sleepwalked through the first 20 minutes, fell behind by two goals, and never fully recovered in what became a 3-0 loss to the expansion Kraken at Climate Pledge Arena.
Playing their third game in four nights, one which was mostly meaningless, the Sharks were outshot 12-4 in the first period when they allowed goals to Yanni Gourde and Adam Larsson.
