SAN JOSE — Sharks captain Joe Pavelski might have been a bit fortunate to see a puck that he partially deflected early in the second period wind up behind Montreal Canadiens goalie Carey Price.
Pavelski had a clearer idea of what was going to happen when he came up with his second point Tuesday at SAP Center.
Pavelski kicked a loose puck in front of Price to his left right to an open Logan Couture, who buried the opportunity at the 13:24 mark of the second period, providing the insurance for what became a 4-2 Sharks win to close out a five-game homestand.
