SAN JOSE – In the second rematch of the Stanley Cup Final, one team still looks like a contender. The other seemingly has lots of work to do.
The surging Penguins improved to 8-2-2 on the season, embarrassing the Sharks at SAP Center on Saturday night, 5-0.
The Sharks, meanwhile, have yet to find any consistency – either in the results, or with their effort – in losing their third straight game in regulation and dropping to 6-6-0 on the season.
Penguins captain Sidney Crosby scored late in the first period and early in the second to increase the Pittsburgh lead to a commanding 3-0.
