It’s easy to feel good on the keys when the San Jose Sharks win.
Last night’s victory snapped a four-game losing streak, punishing the Anaheim Ducks with two goals eight seconds apart in the second period, and two more 25 seconds apart in the third for a final score of 6-1. Goaltender Eetu Makiniemi, in his first career NHL start for San Jose, stopped 23 of 24 shots.
All Anaheim players save for Trevor Zegras failed to solve the rookie goaltender, making for a disappointing bout for a team hoping to build on an overtime win against the Carolina Hurricanes the previous game.
