It turns out that Mirco Mueller can score every once in a great while. For just the second time in his career, the defender ripped a frickin laser beam into the back of the net to put the Sharks ahead 2-1 on Saturday night.
Mueller now has two goals and five points in his NHL career. His goal was assisted on by Dylan DeMelo and Joel Ward, both of whom I imagine heartily welcomed an added apple to their counters.
San Jose entered the first intermission with a 3-1 lead thanks to tallies by Patrick Marleau and Joonas Donskoi.
