Well, that game happened.
The Islanders’ fourth line drove the game, the Sharks have yet to score on the power play this season and to top it all off, there’s another game tomorrow night.
The Sharks “fancy-statted the [snot] out of them and just couldn’t buy a goal,” as Kyle put it in the Fear the Fin Slack channel. At 5-on-5, the Sharks had a 62.65 Corsi-for percentage (via Natural Stat Trick).
Especially in the early stages, the Sharks were getting the majority of their shots between the circles. The Sharks also won the majority of the faceoffs: 61 percent through all situations.
