SAN JOSE — It’s gut check time for the Sharks.
San Jose has put up an admirable fight since their Game 1 beat-down at the hands of the rowdy (and successful) gang of castaways from Sin City, but after Monday’s Game 3 overtime loss, the Sharks are going to have to take it to find another level if they want their season to continue.
One could argue that the Sharks deserved to win Game 3 of their second-round series with Vegas on Monday — they dominated five-on-five play and came back from a two-goal deficit in the third period — but their mistakes came back to haunt them as the opportunistic Knights claimed a 4-3 overtime win to take a 2-1 series lead.
