Sharks enter final week fighting for playoff spot

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) - The San Jose Sharks leave town for their final road trip of the regular season barely hanging on to the Western Conference's final playoff spot.

When they return home after games in Dallas on Tuesday and Los Angeles on Thursday, they could have a playoff spot locked up and the inside track on the Pacific Division title or be eliminated from postseason contention even before the season finale against the Kings.

That's how tightly packed things are in the topsy-turvy Pacific Division that entered Monday with four teams separated by two points. At least one team among Los Angeles, Phoenix, San Jose and Dallas will be left out of the game of playoff musical chairs at week's end, with Colorado holding an outside chance of knocking off a second team.
