Losing streak continues

Georgiev will guard the visiting crease in Montreal on Thursday, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports. Georgiev is mired in a six-game losing streak, allowing 26 goals on 197 shots (.868 save percentage).

Georgiev stopped 33 of 36 shots in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Flames. Georgiev actually had a fairly decent performance, but it still wasn't enough in this contest. He's lost his last six decisions and has given up 26 goals over seven games in that span.

Tending twine Sunday

Cole Caufield scored at 3:21 of overtime to give the Montreal Canadiens a 4-3 win against the San Jose Sharks at Bell Centre on Thursday. Caufield dragged the puck between his legs to get around Macklin Celebrini in the left face-off circle before shooting over Alexandar Georgiev’s right pad.

Struggling through another awful season, the Sharks could be on the verge of shedding several additional players.

After giving up a game-tying goal early in the third period, the Sharks saw Cole Caufield carry the puck into the Sharks’ zone, dangle around Macklin Celebrini and lift a shot high over the shoulder of Alexandar Georgiev at the 3:21 mark of overtime to give the Montreal Canadiens a 4-3 win at the Bell Centre.

Third periods and overtime have not been kind to the San Jose Sharks all season, and that was the case again Thursday night. After allowing a game-tying goal early in the third period, the Sharks allowed a goal to Cole Caufield at the 3:21 mark of overtime and lost 4-3 to the Montreal Canadiens at the Bell Centre.

Members of the Professional Hockey Writers Association get to pick five players when they vote for the winner of the Calder Trophy as the NHL’s rookie of the year, and San Jose Sharks center Macklin Celebrini figures to be at or near the top of the list considering the year he’s had so far.
