EDMONTON — Both Alexander True and Maxim Letunov earned passing grades from Sharks interim coach Bob Boughner after their respective NHL debuts.
Now comes the key part: the encore.
Error 0:
True and Letunov played 12:52 and 10:17, respectively, in the Sharks’ 3-1 win over the Calgary Flames on Tuesday.
True finished with four hits and was effective at times in using his 6-foot-5 frame to protect the puck on the forecheck. Letunov nearly scored in the first period, as he and linemates Marcus Sorensen and Dylan Gambrell created a handful of high danger chances in just under seven minutes of ice time together at even strength.
