Quick Bites: Brent Burns dons his cape in 3-2 OT win
NHLI via Getty ImagesWhen the puck dropped for the San Jose Sharks and Arizona Coyotes last night, there was a lot on the line. The Sharks had a chance to gain some ground on the Calgary Flames in the Pacific Division race and stay ahead of the Vegas Golden Knights, while the Coyotes had a chance to inch closer to that second wild card spot in the West. In the end, it the Sharks that got the job done.
Despite losing 3-2 in overtime, give Arizona credit, because they just kept coming. Looking at Corsi courtesy of Natural Stat Trick, you can see the Coyotes out-possessed the Sharks in even-strength play from the third period on, after they got a tying goal early in the period.
