SAN JOSE — Several fans stood up and Sharks players on the bench tapped their sticks on the boards when Patrick Marleau was recognized during a first period television time out inside SAP Center.
That was about all of the welcoming the Sharks would do Saturday night for Marleau and his new team.
Error 0:
Evander Kane, Timo Meier and Joel Kellman all scored in the first two periods and Martin Jones finished with xx saves as the Sharks earned an impressive 5-0 win over Marleau and the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Logan Couture and Joe Thornton both scored in the third period and Marcus Sornesen added two assists as the Sharks swept the season series with the Penguins, who have now lost six straight, including three in a row since they acquired Marleau on Monday.
