On the Sharks podcast with Len:

#1 The Sharks lost their fifth straight game in Anaheim the Sharks were able to tie the game but the Ducks’ Jakob Silfverberg capped off a three-point night with the game-winner 38 seconds into extra time in the 5-4 loss.

#2 Evander Kane, who lost his unborn daughter, was out for seven games and has been trying to get his concentration back into hockey.

#3 Radim Simek ended his season with a knee injury on March 12th. The Sharks have Brett Burns on defense but they are one player away from pooling from their minor league affiliate, the San Jose Barracuda.

#4 The big hurt is the loss of Joe Pavelski. Pavelski suffered from a hard hit on March 16th against Nashville resulting in a leg injury and has missed three games.

#5 The Sharks are coming off getting swept on back-to-back nights in the Southland and get ready to play the Detroit Red Wings Monday night, who have been struggling. The Sharks have home ice and it might be their best chance to snap their skid.
