The San Jose Sharks lost 3-2 to the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday. Joel Farabee, Morgan Frost and Owen Tippett scored for the Flyers. Samuel Ersson made 27 saves for the win. Filip Zadina scored twice for the Sharks. Magnus Chrona made 39 saves in the loss.

Although the Sharks were outshot 41-29, they kept the game close, never falling more than one goal behind. They never had a lead either. After the game, Sharks Head Coach David Quinn said:

“I just thought we played a little too slow. I didn’t think we had our pace to our game throughout all three zones. I thought in our d-zone we were slow to coverage, I didn’t think we were really ending enough plays and playing on our toes and moving as the puck was moving. There was jst a little bit of a disconnect tonight.”

The Flyers scored first, 3:29 into the game. Morgan Frost intercepted a neutral zone pass and passed it to Joel Farabee, who was into the zone before any Shark. One-on-one with the goaltender, he took a quick shot and put the puck under Chrona for his 19th goal of the season.

The Sharks tied it on the power play in the final minute of the first period. Luke Kunin centered the puck as Filip Zadina entered the zone right down the middle. He pulled the puck back and forth before using a backhand shot to score. Assists went to Luke Kunin and Alexander Barabanov.

Morgan Frost gave the Flyers a lead on the power play at 9:20 of the second period. While sliding backwards away from the net, he caught a rebound off of Travis Konecny’s shot and put the puck up under the bar. Assists went to Konecny and Cam York.

The Sharks tied it again on the power play, again with a goal from Zadina. With the Sharks at the end of the second of back-to-back power plays, Zadina redirected a pass from Luke Kunin. Assists went to Kunin and Kim Kostin.

Owen Tippett scored the game winner for Philadelphia during a delayed penalty in the third period. As the Flyers skated six-on-five, Konecny made a pass through traffic to Tippett for a redirection into the net. Assists went to Konecny and York.

The Sharks next play on Thursday in Pittsburgh against the Penguins at 4:00 PM PT.

On the NHL podcast with Matt Harrington:

#1 The Philadelphia Flyers Owen Tippett picked up his first hat trick on Friday night for a 5-2 victory over the Buffalo Sabres at Wells Fargo Center. Tippett has been on a roll scoring a goal in his last six games and has 31 shots on goal during those six games.

#2 Zach Aston Reese scored two goals for the Toronto Maple Leafs in a 5-2 win over the Carolina Hurricanes at Scotiabank Arena Friday night. Reese in his 293 game career scored his fourth two goal game but never scored a hat trick.

#3 The St Louis Blues Sammy Blais scored twice against the Washington Capitals at Capital Center Friday. Blais was picked up in a deal from the New York Rangers on Feb 9th and has scored four goals in his last five games.

#4 Max Jones scored the tying goal to make it 4-4 and the Anaheim Ducks picked up a three goal 7-4 win against the Columbus Blue Jackets at the Honda Center in Anaheim on Friday night. Jones stole the puck from CBJs defenseman Andrew Peeke at the Columbus blue line and Peeke broke away to score the go ahead goal to make it 5-4.

#5 The San Jose Sharks are excited and expecting big things from William Eklund. Eklund scored San Jose’s only goal and on a penalty shot. Eklund has two goals in two games. He could be the catalyst the Sharks have been looking for.
