San Jose Sharks
The San Jose Sharks (29-32-9; 36-34 ATS) put 33 shots on net, but came away with just two goals and a 4-2 loss to Calgary. The loss dropped the Sharks to 0-4-1 in their last five games as they are all but eliminated at this point, 17 points behind Dallas for the final playoff spot with just 12 games left to play.
Logan Couture scored his 23rd goal in the loss. Couture is third on the club with 23 goals and 49 points. Only four players on the team have as many as 46 points this season, as goal scoring has been a serious issue for the Sharks. The club is 28th in the NHL in goals per game at 2.60. They are 23rd on the power-play at 18.8%, but are one of the best penalty killing units in the NHL at 85.3%, third overall.
Vancouver Canucks
The Vancouver Canucks (34-28-10; 43-29 ATS) moved to 2-0-1 in April with a 5-1 victory over Arizona on Thursday. The club has allowed five goals in their last three games while scoring 12, including five in back-to-back contests. The Canucks are 6-1-1 in their last eight games on the road, helping them to stay in the playoff hunt as they are just six points behind Dallas.
Jaroslav Halak stopped 27 of 28 shots. This comes a night after Thatcher Demko held Vegas to one goal on 34 shots. Goaltending has been a key reason why this team is in the playoff hunt, as they are eighth in goals allowed per game at 2.79. They had even been a little bit better at home with a 2.68 goals-against average. The penalty killing units have been horrific for Vancouver, as they are 30th at 73.6%.
