The San Jose Sharks were severely outmatched entering this one. Not only were they missing Evander Kane due to his 3 game suspension. It got announced just moments prior to puck drop that Erik Karlsson would not be suiting up due to a personal matter. Nevertheless, the game must go on and it did with the Sharks struggling mightily the entire night against a fully stacked deck.
After surrendering two early goals the Sharks settled things down and bit. They responded with a Marcus Sorensen goal and some excellent stops by Martin Jones.
