What was shaping up to be a 3-0 snoozefest where all three goals came within the first 15 minutes became a wild adventure late in the third period, when 64 penalty minutes were handed out in the final five minutes of the game.
“Snoozefest” is an exaggeration, of course. But after the Sharks notched two power play goals (Tomas Hertl) and one shorthanded goal (evander Kane), the game was a series of power play opportunities and exchanging chances at 5-on-5, though the Sharks had a clear edge. But taking fewer risks made sense once they ended the first period up 3-0.
