It was a long and frustrating road trip through Buffalo and Eastern Canada, but the San Jose Sharks were able to end it on a high note with a 3-1 win over the Montreal Canadiens.
Throughout this five-game road trip, the Sharks have chased the score, playing from behind in all their games, never once holding the lead. However, against the Canadiens, the Sharks were able to grab the opening goal of the game and hold the lead for the first time on this road trip. A turnover led to Justin Braun recovering the puck and firing a slap shot past Carey Price early in the first period, for a goal Price certainly wants back.
