The Sharks haven’t had a killer instinct this year.
So it was nice to see them, up 3-2 going into third period against the Chicago Blackhawks on Sunday night, pour it on with two more goals to polish off the home side.
“The only way to learn how to do it is do it and you draw from those experiences,” coach David Quinn said. “So hopefully we’re in that position again, we have a good feeling about it, and follow through the way we did tonight.”
That’s what the Sharks failed to do Thursday night when they blew a 3-1 third-period lead to drop a 4-3 overtime decision to the Philadelphia Flyers.

“We have to just keep playing the same way, but it seems like we always get a little scared,” alternate captain Tomas Hertl said about the Sharks’ inability to finish tight games.
