Sharks' Playoff Push Intensifies

0:00It's April 6th. This is NHL News today, powered by AI, your team, your update. The San Jose Sharks are making a real playoff push in the Western Conference, sitting at 36 wins, 32 losses, and 7 over time. Losses. They're just two points behind Nashville and Los Angeles for that final wildcard spot. A huge turnaround after missing the playoffs since the 20. 18-19 season and owning the league's worst record not long ago. They snapped a 4-game win streak with a tough 6-3 loss to Nashville on Saturday, rallying from 3-0 down to tie it before. Crumbling in the third, now the big question is, can they shake it off quick and keep the momentum alive? Young guns are stepping up big time, with Maclin's Celebrini dropping 9 points in 3 games lately, plus a clutch goal against Nashville. Rookies like Colin Graff and William Eklon are chipping in offensively, and Goli Yaroslav Askerov is showering a massive load between the pipes.

This week is Maker Break with 5 games and 8 days, home against Chicago tonight at 10 PM Eastern, Edmonton on Wednesday at 10, Anaheim on the, Rho Thursday at 10, Vancouver home Saturday at 10, and a huge rematch at Nashville Monday the 13th at 8 PM. They grind through this, and that wild card could be theirs.
