The San Jose Sharks missed their chance to take down one of the best teams in the NHL, losing 3-2 in a shootout to the Dallas Stars. Start with the Sharks not being able to capitalize on an extended 5 on 3 power play as the team is trying to learn how to win. Then, discuss Will Smith's deployment, especially down the stretch run of the game, and if the Sharks need to look at tweaking the lines. Next, analyze the numbers behind the game and how the second period got away from the Sharks, but they were able to respond; the William Eklund, Mikael Granlund, Tyler Toffoli line's hot start; and if the third line needs more scoring touch. Finally, Mackenzie Blackwood was dialed in for the Sharks after a challenging third period for the Blues. Look at his numbers and how he almost stole this game for the Sharks.
