SAN JOSE — Sharks center Tomas Hertl attracted a crowd after he threw a hip check on Connor McDavid in the second period of Tuesday night’s game with the Edmonton Oilers.
When he got out of the penalty box, he skated toward the front of the Oilers’ net and found himself all alone as he tapped in a pass from Erik Karlsson past goalie Mike Smith.
Hertl was one of six players to score at SAP Center for the Sharks, who continued their recent and somewhat remarkable metamorphosis with a 6-3 pasting of the Pacific Division-leading Oilers.
