The Sharks finished up their east coast road trip in Buffalo today after a 2-2 record on the road so far. With Chris Tierney leading in faceoffs and Logan Couture on a hot streak with six goals and three assists in five games, the Sharks needed a win in Buffalo. Meanwhile, the Sabres were looking for a win of their own to cap off celebrating Jack Eichel’s 21st birthday and the birth of Robin Lehner’s second child last night.
The first 20 minutes were off to a roaring start, as Brent Burns had a beautiful shot on goal in the first two minutes.
