The San Jose Sharks are a group of good skaters in front of awful goaltending. They give up expected goals, which measure the quality of scoring chances based primarily on shot location, at a lower rate than they rack them up. This is partially because they have such an effective group of forwards, as well as Brent Burns and Erik Karlsson. While Karlsson hasn’t been himself so far this season, he certainly looked it for the whole two-game series vs. the Wild. When San Jose turns it on, they can turn it on.
The Sharks built their lead in the second period off of two dangerous goals.
