It's tough to say where the San Jose Sharks would be in the Western Conference standings right now - at the midway point of the season - if they had held onto some of the third-period leads they had last month.
The Sharks would love to bottle up their third-period effort from Thursday, when they... looked significantly more composed in their own end in protecting a one-goal lead than in other recent games.
I think we when we realized when they got a couple looks off of turnovers, we nipped it in the bud, and we didn't let it continue to unravel... We matured a lot tonight.
In December, the Sharks held and lost third-period leads to Utah, Winnipeg, Colorado, Edmonton, and Vegas... the important part was that they finally learned from those mistakes.
