A win is a win, is a win.

So, on the night the Rangers became the first team to clinch a playoff berth, the Sharks kept the wolves at bay to be out of the playoffs.

Marleau had two goals and an assist, named #1 SOTG.

But, the Sharks had some really weird bounces go past Niemi.

So, the Sharks have about 1% chance of making the playoffs (they’ll have to run the tables AND have help from other teams).  Low, low, probability.  Team is not just “playing out the string” as some have jobs/new contracts to play for (either with the Sharks or their next team).  But the team will have to find the motivation to play for something other than making the post season.

And there’s the possibility of the Sharks being able to upset the Kings’ playoff hopes in the last game of the season.

Sharks are coming off a loss that all but put the final nail in their coffin for NHL playoffs hopes. Meanwhile, the Red Wings are still in the playoff chase for their twenty-third straight season, but lost to the cellar-dwelling Arizona Coyotes in OT.

Sharks have Torres (LTIR) and Brown (IR) on the shelf. While Brown hoped to be able to get back in the lineup on this road tripo, the Sharks might just shut him down for the season, with playoff hopes so low.

Wings have their own list of walking wounded. Cole, Franzen are out. Datsyuk, Kronwall may return from lower body injury. (Update: Datsyuk not taking line rushes, so still out)

Howard starting for Wings. Niemi for the Sharks.

That didn’t end well.  Sharks did have SOME good energy, but a few mental lapses resulted in the goals against.

After their outdoor foray, the Sharks had Sunday and Monday off before hitting the ice for practice on Tuesday (emphasis on offense) and Wednesday (defensive focus) before Thursday’s game.

Meanwhile, the Wings have been in California, playing the Ducks Monday (lost 3-4 in SO) and the Kings Tuesday (lost 0-1). Captain Zetterberg was injured and did not play Monday nor Tuesday (head injury, possible concussion). Wings had the day off on Wednesday (enjoying the California weather).

This is the 1,800th regular season game in Sharks history.  (And today is Barclay Goodrow’s birthday.)

Sharks announce that Torres is out for season after (finally) having ACL surgery; delay to ensure no infection.  Should be ready for training camp.

Wings indicate that Zetterberg and Quincey still out.

Niemi vs Howard tonight.
