On Saturday night at the Shark Tank, the league’s hottest team, the San Jose Sharks, took on the struggling Arizona Coyotes. The Coyotes (16-28-6) ultimately prevailed over the Sharks (33-17-3) with a 3-2 shootout win.
Early on in the first period, the Sharks almost grabbed the early lead. A wide open goal was available for Mikkel Boedker, but Coyotes’ goalie Mike Smith made an incredible stick save to keep it out.
Two Arizona penalties near the end of the period gave the Sharks an extended 5-on-3 power play. They carried that chance into the 2nd period but missed their opportunity to convert.
