SAN JOSE – Add goaltending to the growing list of issues currently plaguing the sinking San Jose Sharks.
Martin Jones was pulled just three-and-a-half minutes into Tuesday’s game with the Islanders, while backup Alex Stalock allowed a horrific goal early in the third period as the Sharks lost 4-2 to the Islanders at SAP Center.
The Sharks (7-8-0) have lost eight of their last 11 games, including three of four on their homestand, and are about to embark on their longest road trip of the regular season (six games).
After a slow start cost them on Saturday in a 1-0 loss to the Ducks, the Sharks again fell behind early.
