SAN JOSE — The Sharks didn’t need a miraculous comeback Wednesday. They just had to hold on.
And after the drama that unfolded at SAP Center less than two weeks ago, the Sharks had another heart-stopper in Game 7 of their second round series against the Colorado Avalanche.
They found a way once again.
Joe Pavelski had a goal and an assist in his dramatic return to the lineup and Joonas Donskoi scored his first goal since Jan. 8 proved to the game-winner as the Sharks beat the Avalanche 3-2 to win the series four-games-to-three and advance to the Western Conference final for the second time in four years.
