The Avalanche and Sharks met for the second time in three nights, with the Avs looking for the sweep and the Sharks looking to split the series. This was the Sharks eight straight road game before they “return home” to Glendale to play “home games” in Arizona, so they were looking to end the road trip on a high note.
The Avs, after struggling through the first two periods, put the Sharks away 3-0 to sweep their two-game series. This was also the game that saw Bo Byram pass his father in NHL games played in his career, which was a proud accomplishment for the Byram family and something they had been looking forward to in Byram’s young NHL career so far.
