Another home game, another loss for the Sharks.
Justin Abdelkader scored the tie-breaking goal at 13:08 of the third period just after San Jose narrowly missed on two glorious chances as the Detroit Red Wings beat the Sharks 2-1 at SAP Center on Thursday.
Abdelkader’s 13th goal came from the mid-slot following a blocked shot by Sharks defenseman Justin Braun. Abdelkader’s shot went over the glove of goalie Martin Jones.
The Sharks, who lost for the third time in four games to start their five-game homestand, fell to a league-worst 5-12 as hosts.
