Even the best teams aren’t at their best every night. But good teams — playoff teams — manage, even when they’re struggling, to dig deep and get points. The San Jose Sharks aren’t that, as they showed in a 2-1 loss to Utah Hockey Club on Friday.

SALT LAKE CITY -- Barrett Hayton scored with 1:32 remaining in regulation to give the Utah Hockey Club a 2-1 win against the San Jose Sharks at Delta Center on Friday. Hayton got his own rebound in the right corner, skated up to the top of the circle, and scored over the glove of Alexandar Georgiev.
