The San Jose Sharks were shutout in their last game ever at Joe Louis Arena Saturday, Oct. 22. That left them a disappointing 2-3-0 on their first Eastern Conference road trip of the 2016-17 NHL season.
The Sharks finished with just a dozen wins in 43 games at the Joe. However, they were 10-4-1 in their previous 15 games on the iconic rink before Saturday. They reversed their narrative with the Detroit Red Wings in the process.
San Jose lost to Detroit in the second round of the 2007 Stanley Cup playoffs after being just 34 seconds away from going up 3-1.
