Last night was a landmark game for the Shark Tank — it was the first time the San Jose Sharks met and hosted their new division mates, the Seattle Kraken. And who else would be a part of the welcome party than three former Sharks players? Ryan Donato, Joonas Donskoi and Alexander True made up the starting line for the Kraken, in what was a homecoming for the ages.
The first period was a relatively equal game, with both teams earning extended offensive zone time, some dangerous chances and a couple of awe-inducing stops from goaltenders James Reimer and Chris Driedger.
