It was “throwback night” at SAP Center on Tuesday night, and the Sharks stuck to the script by playing like an expansion team.
Columbus, 2-10 entering the game, scored twice in 29 seconds late in the second period en route to a 5-2 victory that left San Jose with six losses in its past eight games.
The Sharks went 0-for-4 with the man advantage to remain without a power-play goal in five home games. Even goalie Martin Jones, an early-season bright spot, had an off night as he was chased after 40 minutes in favor of backup Alex Stalock.
