In a night that was almost certain to be easy pickings for the Sharks, goaltending still almost cost them a repeat performance of the loss to this Winnipeg Jets earlier in this homestand.
Luckily, that wasn’t the case, and the Sharks were able to skate away with a rare win after putting up 58 unblocked shots and attempts and dominating play for nearly the entire game. Chicago put up a good fight in the third, just one goal away from sending the whole thing to overtime and earning a point for their troubles, and Martin Jones seemed eager to give it to them.
