Dobson shoved Tyson Foerster into the boards near center ice to force the turnover that led to Barzal beating Ersson 30 seconds into the third. The Flyers again extended the lead to two goals two seconds after a power play expired at the 5:16 mark, when York scored following a faceoff win by Couturier.

- The Sharks are in eighth place in the Pacific Division with 34 points and a record of 14-27-6. San Jose is 1-4-0 in their last five games. - Mikael Granlund leads the Sharks in assists (25) and points (37) in his second season with San Jose.

This is what it looks like when the season slips away in January. A disastrous second period, a total squandering of momentum, a team that played most of the night as though nobody was on the same page and a home crowd that sounded more disappointed than upset.

According to recent reports from The Hockey News’ New York Islanders site. The Islanders have their eye on the Vancouver Canucks’ star Elias Pettersson.
