SAN JOSE — A team meeting where some hard truths were spoken helped the Sharks hit the reset button, at least for one night.
Hours after the Sharks met as a team and “called each other on the carpet,” according to coach Bob Boughner, the Sharks on Saturday night responded with their most complete effort in recent memory.
Timo Meier registered his first career NHL hat trick and goalie Martin Jones stopped 26 of 27 shots to help Sharks top the Philadelphia Flyers 6-1 and snap a four-game losing streak.
Barclay Goodrow had three assists, Evander Kane had two assists and both Mario Ferraro and Joel Kellman scored their first career NHL goals as the Sharks closed out a seven-game homestand with a 2-4-1 record.
