SAN JOSE – Joe Pavelski took in a Giants game on Saturday, as did several of his teammates. Logan Couture said he didn’t get off the couch for more than two hours all weekend. Joel Ward was able to catch a Toronto Raptors NBA playoff game.
Such are the benefits of quickly wrapping up a first round playoff series.
On Monday, though, the Sharks got back to work with a spirited, hour-long skate at their practice facility. They don’t know yet whether they’ll face the Ducks or Predators in the second round, but they all seemed to enjoy one another’s company in their first full team gathering since flying home from Los Angeles on Friday night after eliminating their despised rival.
