Despite two of their last three (and four of their last six) games going into an extra frame, the San Jose Sharks are cruising right now, picking up all six points in their last three games. That’s not to say the Sharks are playing perfectly — two of those games were against the basement dwelling Arizona Coyotes and both of them went into overtime — but following up a three game losing streak with a three consecutive wins evens things out a bit.
The last week has been weird for the Sharks, okay? Coming off their bye week, they’ve had to immediately jump into a compressed schedule, with eight games over thirteen days between the bye week and the All-Star Break, and four of them on the road while they never have more than a single day off between games.
